Oldest Hebrew Text Uncovered By Israeli Archaeologists

We will have to see where this goes, but this is exciting for the field of biblical archaeology.

"Archaeologists in Israel have reported the finding of the oldest known Hebrew text in a fortress city overlooking a valley where the Bible says David slew Goliath.

The Hebrew inscription found on a 3,000-year-old piece of pottery could provide insight that suggests Biblical accounts of the ancient Israelite kingdom of David could have been based on written texts."
