found last winter.


Also, the Israel Museum is fabulous. :thumbsup:







Experts have dated the find to the Second Temple Period, or the First Century A.D. “First and Second Temple period inscriptions mentioning Jerusalem are quite rare,” said Dr. Yuval Baruch, Jerusalem regional archaeologist of the IAA and Prof. Ronny Reich of Haifa University, in a statement. “But even more unique is the complete spelling of the name as we know it today, which usually appears in the shorthand version.”

“This is the only stone inscription of the Second Temple period known where the full spelling appears. This spelling is only known in one other instance, on a coin of the Great Revolt against the Romans (66-70 CE),” they added.

I like to keep up with the archaeological progress. It proves more every time, for those who need tangible evidence.

Dead Sea Scrolls are at the Israel Museum. Rotating displays as there is not enough room to have them all out.






poor typing today frustrated

Interesting but actually insignificant.

I suppose everyone has their own idea of what is significant.
