Ebla-Biblical controversy
Ebla-Biblical controversy, refers to the disagreements between different scholars regarding a possible connection between the Syrian city of Ebla and the Bible. At the beginning of the Ebla's tablets deciphering process, Giovanni Pettinato made claims about a connection. However, much of the initial media excitement about a supposed Eblaite connection with the Bible, based on preliminary guesses and speculations by Pettinato and others, is now widely described as "exceptional and unsubstantiated claims" and "great amounts of disinformation that leaked to the public". In Ebla studies, the focus has shifted away from comparisons with the Bible, and Ebla is now studied above all as a civilization in its own right.〔 The tide turned after a bitter personal and scholarly conflict between the scientists involved, and an alleged interference by the Syrian authorities on political grounds.
==The controversy==
Pettinato, in a meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature in St. Louis on October 29, 1976, said that he had identified the names of Sodom, Gomorrah, and Zoar/Bela in the Ebla tablets, locations which are known from Genesis 14 of the Bible.〔William H. Shea, "Two Palestinian Segments From the Eblaite Geographical Atlas" in ''The Word of the Lord Shall Go Forth: Essays in Honor of David Noel Freedman'' pp. 589-612, ed. Carol Meyers, Eisenbrauns, 1983, ISBN 9780931464195〕 He repeated this claim in a speech in December and a survey article in 1977.〔 Alfonso Archi fiercely contested these findings in 1979 and 1981. These back-and-forth interpretations of Eblaite tablets were based on tablets whose facsimiles had not been published for others to study,〔 and some of Pettianato's findings changed. For example, Pettinato also claimed to find references to Sodom and Gomorrah and retracted his Zoar reading. The argument raged in the Biblical Archaeology Review and amongst other scholars at the time.
