Discovery of a Cursed Tablet
A recently uncovered cursed tablet in Israel has generated significant interest due to its potential to include Paleo-Hebrew inscriptions. If validated, this artifact would be dated to approximately 1500 BC, making it one of the oldest known references to the divine name Yahweh. This dating would predate the Dead Sea Scrolls by over a thousand years, positioning it as a significant find in biblical archaeology. The implications of identifying the text as Paleo-Hebrew would be profound due to the scarcity of similar artifacts, as previously known examples typically originate from later periods.
