Israel: pottery proof
Bible Society’s Newswatch (Daily Mail)
An inscription on a piece of pottery proves
biblical authenticity, according to a Jewish
professor of ancient history, it was reported
in January.
Gershon Galil,
from
the University of
Haifa
in
Israel,
says
the 3,000-year-old
inscription, found on the remains of a jug
discovered in Jerusalem, is evidence of King
Solomon’s reign. He believes the first part of
the inscription indicates that it came from
the 20th or 30th year that Solomon was on
the throne, and the middle portion is translated as ‘inferior wine’. The ‘Ophel inscription’ is the most ancient Hebrew engraving
to emerge from the archaeological digs in the area so far.
