Here is a link to a 108-year-old article about the ancient Jewish Temple in Elephanitine. There is a pdf file that you can download from the site.https://www.jstor.org/stable/3141839?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

How do they know some other group did not use that symbol?
Buddhist sects use swastikas why couldn’t Egyptians use an 8 pointed star made from two squares?
Muslims don’t like to admit it, but their cult is fairly recent compared to Christianity and Christianity is a babe compared to Judaism. But it all goes back to Egypt anyway so all this fighting is stupid.

Elephantine Island is where the Ark of the Covenant went on its way to Ethiopia. ;-)
thanx for your interesting posts
Clearly the work of the Goa’uld System Lord D’avide.
It’s simply amazing to see how Muslims will go into great contortions of history to deny almost any archeological evidence of Jews existence—while at the same time acknowledging the Quran calls them ‘people of the book’ with a heritage that intersects that of their own.
It has been known for a long time that Elephantine was a site of worship for some Jews in the early days of the diaspora, which would fit the Roman dating of this find.
They lived there for a while, then migrated further south to Ethiopia, where there was an ancient Jewish community that could shelter them. Legend has it that they carried the Ark with them, and kept it in a temple on Elephantine before taking it to Ethiopia, but of course, that much is just legendary.
No reasons to think that this is connected to Judaism. Wikipedia has a good article on the Star on David including its early use.

If they find an engraving of Charlton Heston then we know for certain the 10 Commandments and other stories are real.....

A few years ago I was giving an exchange student from Turkish Cyprus a quick tour of Denver. I pointed out National Jewish Hospital and told him it was the best respiratory hospital in the country. He did a double take and I thought his head was going to explode. How could the dhimmis be allowed to run something so prominent?
Looks like an engineer’s elevation mark to me
The datum was carried forward to other locations to maintain the project level
