Biblical History Uncovered
3 Answers
For fellow religious historians …. and anyone else who may be interested.
//toilet placed in temple was “the ultimate desecration” to end the cult who worshipped Ba’al. The second book of Kings in scripture notes King Hezekiah’s efforts in eradicating pagan cults such as those that worshipped Ba’al, a pagan god mentioned several times in the Bible. For instance, 2 Kings 10 says: “Then they demolished the pillar of Ba'al, and destroyed the temple of Ba'al, and made it a latrine to this day.” While excavating the gate-shrine of Lachish, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) stumbled across an actual latrine that was built onto the shrine, rendering it unclean and also providing evidence backing up the claims made in 2 Kings.//

It is interesting that real events have been written into the 'good book'. This I think happens all the time with all religiously books.
It gives a semblance of truth because the masses (of the time and later generations) can't identify with it. 'See it must be true because there's a toilet where the bIble said there would be one'. The truth of the time has been highjacked as an event of Gods.
