Description
Israel's Antiquities Authority reveals an extremely rare papyrus note in ancient Hebrew dating back 2,700 years, brought back to Jerusalem after its chance discovery in the United States. The letter fragment, written in the Paleo-Hebrew used during the First Temple era, constitutes four lines beginning "To Ishmael send", with the rest of the words incomplete. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
