(Jerusalem Post) Daniel K. Eisenbud - A well-preserved piece of fired clay dating to the First Temple period, with the Hebrew inscription "belonging to the governor of the city," was recently discovered during excavations by the Israel Antiquities Authority in the Western Wall Plaza in Jerusalem. The relic, dating from the 6th to 7th centuries BCE, "depicts two figures facing each other, and the lower part holds an inscription in ancient Hebrew script," said Dr. Shlomit Weksler-Bdolah, excavator of the site. "The finding of the seal with this high-rank title...supports the assumption that this area...was inhabited by highly ranked officials during the First Temple period." Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat said the find "shows that already 2,700 years ago, Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, was a strong and central city. Jerusalem is one of the most ancient capitals of the world." 2018-01-02 00:00:00Full Article
