Israel unveiled Tuesday a stone pillar engraved with an ancient inscription showing that the spelling of Jerusalem in its present-day Hebrew form was already in common use some 2,000 years ago.

During construction work in February in Jerusalem, archaeologists unearthed the pillar with the inscription "Hananiah son of Dodalos of Jerusalem," written in Aramaic with Hebrew letters.

The Hebrew spelling of the city -- pronounced Yerushalayim -- is the same today.

The stone was originally part of a Jewish potter's village dating to the second century BC near Jerusalem.

The site, now inside the city, became the Roman 10th Legion's workshop in the early second century AD for ceramic building material.

It was the same legion that destroyed Jerusalem and the second Jewish temple in 70 AD.

The stone was reused as part of a row of columns along a basin.

This picture taken on October 9, 2018, at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem shows a unique stone inscription dating to the Second Temple Period (1st Century CE), mentioning Jerusalem, written in Hebrew letters, and using the spelling as we know it today. The inscription was found this last winter in Jerusalem during an IAA excavation prior to the construction of a new road, during the excavations, the foundations of a Roman structure were exposed, which were supported by columns. The most important discovery was a stone column drum, reused in the Roman structure, upon which the Aramaic inscription appears, written in Hebrew letters typical of the Second Temple Period, around the time of Herod the Great's reign. The inscription reads: Hananiah son of Dodalos of Jerusalem. The Inscription will be displayed to the public, starting tomorrow, at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, as part of a new exhibit presenting unique artifacts from the capital. GALI TIBBON / AFP.

Well, of course. It was planted there by......THE MOSSAD!!!!

(Yes, some idiot on Yahoo said the limo crash was caused by them, BION)

[camle]

assuming it is genuine...a big assumption

[Wuli]

Beutiful find.

[teeman8r]

really? it’s not like it is written in stone or er... nevermind.

[hanamizu]

Absurd. Everyone knows that Al Quds has always been a Palestinian/Arab/Moslem city.

“Hananiah son of Dodalos of Jerusalem,”

---

I’m pretty sure that the complete inscription said, “Hananiah son of Dodalos of Jerusalem, where we have no Fakestinians or Moose Limbs at all - it ALL belongs to the Jews, and has for about 1,000 years, because God gave it to us.”

Looks like a bunch of scribbles to me. Not very ‘historic’.

This is well worth repeating:

There was an Israeli state in the land of Israel 2000 years before the evil prophet of Islam allegedly flying on a "magical horse" from Mecca to Jerusalem.

• * There was an Israeli nation in the land of Israel.
• * There was an Israeli kingdom in the land of Israel.
• * There were Israeli kings in the Israeli kingdom of Israel.
• * There was an Israeli capital in the kingdom of Israel.
• * There was and there is an Israeli essence.
• * There was and there is an Israeli heritage.
• * There was and there is an Israeli culture.

  The “Palestinians” are Arabs who were brought to the region by the Ottoman empire as part of the Muslim occupation in the region. They are definitely not the tribes from Crete who settled down in the 5 cities of Gaza strip after the Exodus of Israel from Egypt. These tribes were called Philistines and they weren’t Arabs at all and today’s “Palestinians” are definitely not their descendants. The Philistines don’t exist as a nation.

  Israel isn't just a name of a state. It's first and for all a name of a nation (Am Yisrael). Israel is the name of the father of the nation (Jacob) and Israelis are his descendants. The real meaning of the word 'Israeli' is someone who belongs to the nation of Israel and not only "a citizen of a state called Israel".

  Gentiles invented the word ‘Jews’. When the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans occupied the land of Israel they called all the Israelis in the name 'Jews' because at those days the tribe of Judah was the biggest and the dominant tribe which survived the exile of Assyria in which 10 tribes of Israel were exiled. The tribe of Judah lived in the Judean desert thus the gentiles who occupied the land of Israel called the members of this tribe (and also the ones of Benjamin and Levi who joined it) in the name 'Jews'.

  When Israelis (Jews) who live abroad go to synagogue they don't read about Jews in the prayer books nor in the Torah but about 'The Nation of Israel', 'The Children of Israel', 'The House of Israel’,'Shema Yisrael' etc. They are Israelis because they belong to the nation of Israel even if they aren't citizens of a state called Israel. Both the words 'Jews' and 'Israelis' refer to nationality, to ethnic identity and not to religion. Jews are members of the tribe of Judah and not "people who believe in Judaism". And the nation isn't called Judah but Israel, and so does the land and in the future the 10 tribes will return to this nation.

  That's why Arab citizens of Israel don't define themselves as Israelis but as Arab/"Palestinian" citizens of a state CALLED Israel. They aren't members of the Israeli nation but of the Ishmaelite nation. Ishmael used to shoot arrows at Isaac (father of Israel) while saying: "I'm only playing..." That's why there's no "Israeli-Palestinian conflict" but a WAR that the Ishmaelite/Arabs opened on the Israelis. Also Muhammad murdered Israelis in Saudi Arabia who refused to accept his murderous pagan dream.

  Couple of facts about Israel that the haters of Israel don't like:

  1. Israel became a state in 1312 B.C., two millennia before Islam.

• 2.Arab refugees from Israel began calling themselves "Palestinians"in1967, two decades after (modern) Israeli statehood in 1948.
• 3.After conquering the land in 1272 B.C., Jews ruled it for a thousand years and maintained a continuous presence there for 3,300years.
• 4.The only Arab rule following conquest in 633 BC lasted just 22 years.
• 5.For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem was the Jewish capital. It was never the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even under Jordanian rule,(East) Jerusalem was not made the capital, and no Arab leader came to visit it.
• 6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the bible, but not once is it mentioned in the Qur'an.
• 7. King David founded Jerusalem; Mohammed never set foot in it.
• 8.Jews pray facing Jerusalem; Muslims face Mecca. If they are between the two cities, Muslims pray facing Mecca, with their backs to Jerusalem.
• 9.In 1948, Arab leaders urged their people to leave, promising to cleanse the land of Jewish presence. 68% of them fled without ever setting eyes on an Israeli soldier.
• 10. Virtually the entire Jewish population of Muslim countries had to flee as the result of violence and pogroms.
• 11. Some 630,000 Arabs left Israel in 1948, while close to a million Jews were forced to leave the Muslim countries.
• 12.In spite of the vast territories at their disposal, Arab refugees were deliberately prevented from assimilating into their host countries. Of100 million refugees following World War 2, they are the only group to have never integrated with their co-religionists. Most of the Jewish refugees from Europe and Arab lands were settled in Israel ,a country no larger than New Jersey, USA.
• 13. There are 22 Muslim countries, not counting Palestine. There is only one Jewish state.
• 14. Fatah and Hamas constitutions still call for the destruction of Israel.
• Israel ceded most of the west bank and all of Gaza to the Palestinian authority, and even provided it with arms.
• 15.During the Jordanian occupation, Jewish holy sites were vandalized and were off limits to Jews. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian holy sites are accessible to all faiths.
• 16. Out of 175 United Nations Security Council resolutions up to1990, 97 were against Israel; out of 690 general assembly resolutions,429 were against Israel.
• 17. The U.N. was silent when the Jordanians destroyed 58 synagogues in the old city of Jerusalem. It remained silent while Jordan systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, and it remained silent when Jordan enforced apartheid laws preventing Jews from accessing the temple mount and western wall.
• 18. Arabs started all five wars against Israel, and lost every one of them.
• If you consider Palestine to be a “Sovereign” and “Independent” country that goes back through most of recorded history as many would have you to believe, then a few questions need to be answered: •When was it founded and by whom? •What were its borders? •What was its capital? •Who was the President? •What was its form of government? •What were its major cities? •What constituted the basis of its economy? •Who was the Palestinian leader before Yasser Arafat? •Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation? •What was the language of the country of Palestine? •What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine? •What was the name of its currency and what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, or Japanese yen on any particular date? •And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?

I think you can make out the 'vav', which is the connective form. In the ancient, it represented a pillar. Kaballist used the form to represent Meschiach, or Messiah, or the pillar of truth. Like a line, or a 'staff'. In the modern Hebrew, it would be the third letter from the right. ירושלים . It literally connects Jebus and Salem to form the word yerushalayim, which were the two cities that were conquered that became the City of David. The whole City of David is being excavated as we read and only confirms the Jewish origins of the city. Everyone that can go to Jerusalem should spend at least a day viewing the excavations.

Absolutely.

The past confirms the present.

The Tenth Legion was Legio X Fretensis, there were several Tenth Legions. Confusing.

Well, Hebrew is pretty much the same as it was, isn’t it? I guess I am missing something here.

Mossad does beautiful work, but they should have arranged for a Palestinian to find it. /sar
