Oct. 26:" Archaeologist Yossi Garfinkel displays a ceramic shard bearing what may be a Hebrew inscription at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The ceramic shard, containing five lines of faded characters written 3,000 years ago at the time of the Old Testament's King David, was found in the ruins of an ancient fortified town south of Jerusalem and is the oldest Hebrew inscription ever discovered, according to Garfinkel. Other experts aren't sure whether it's Hebrew or another closely related Caananite dialect of the period."
