Archeologists have found the city of Melchisedek. He is found to be a righteous man after the flood. we notice that he was before Aaron and not under the laws of Moses though he did know what God had taught him by himself to obey. There is no record of his life and people. One thing they have found.
They found slaughter basins for animals, and that where they would have water basins for washing. That would mean he was continually offering sheep and other animals for sacrifice for sins. That is how he is a picture of Christ. The lamb who offered himself as our great high priest. see Hebrews 7:1.
His name reveals he is a king of righteousness. He was also a priest. No mention of a prophet. His name also reveals peace. That shows he was a blessed man.
