South of Jerusalem, near the town of Beit Shemesh, archeologists found the oldest Hebrew inscription so far. 3000 years old and the Hebrew University archeologist Yossi Garfinkel claims that these written five lines are prove enough that the kingdom of King David was indeed a powerful mighty kingdom and not just a village of an meaningless tribe.

Whoever has had doubts so far and thought that the Tanach couldn't serve as a precise history book, should start reconsidering his opinion. Not only this latest found proves it but already all the others before. And just look at the remains of the Second Temple. Israel was and is a Jewish country and no Palestinian nor other foreigner has the right to make any claim.
"It's proto-Canaanite," he said. "The differentiation between the scripts, and between the languages themselves in that period, remains unclear."

ReplyDeleteI heard that there are different opinions but this HebrewU archeologist seems to be sure.
In fact, there have been quite a few founds before; especially scripts from the Torah or the prophets.
I cannot understand why people still claim the opposite. The Palestinians claim that there was never a Temple and some scientists still consider the Tanach as a story book.
