Archaeologists uncover massive gate to Goliath's biblical city

Archaeologists on a two-decade-long mission have discovered the gate and the fortifications of one of the most coveted ancient Biblical cities – Philistine Gath, located in the Judean foothills. The city was also home to Goliath.

The gate to the city, where the biblical giant warrior Goliath, defeated by young David, the future king of Israel, came from, was enormous. link
