Archaeology and Ancient Jewish Writings: King David's Palace: Solomon's Temple: Al Aqsa Mosque: JerusalemThe real importance is that in this Anti-Israel (Anti-Semitic) century, every effort is being made to rewrite history and present Israel and the Jews as a fictious or insignificant historical people. An ancient seal bearing an archaic Hebrew inscription dating back to the 8th century BCE has been uncovered in an archeological excavation in Jerusalem's City of David, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Thursday. The find reveals that by 2,700 years ago, clerks and merchants had already begun to add their names to the seals instead of the symbols that were used in earlier centuries.
Scholars say the discovery by Pittsburgh archaeologist Ron E. Tappy, a professor at the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, is the most concrete evidence that Israelites were literate as early as the 10th century B.C.
"This is very rare. This stone will be written about for many years to come," Tappy said Wednesday at a news conference.
"This makes it very historically probable there were people in the 10th century (B.C.) who could write."
Update
Although the Anti-Semites and Anti-Biblical Political Crowd keep insisting that what the Bible says is wrong, and that Israel was in fact an Arab nation, new archaeological discoveries demonstrate that not to be so.

What is so important about these announcements?
The real importance is that in this Anti-Israel (Anti-Semitic) century, every effort is being made to rewrite history and present Israel and the Jews as a fictious or insignificant historical people.
Western Pro-terrorist organizations constantly support the lies promulgated by those with a vested interest in destroying Israel.
One of the many things that revisionist academics say today is that the Bible is a completely late invention in the history of Israel, ie: 5th Century BCE. Discoveries like the ones mentioned above help to combat the propaganda lies of Pro-terrorists and Hypocritical Western Media.
The UNHRC's resolution effectively delegitimized Israel's right to exist by denying that it has a right to defend its territory and its people from illegal aggression carried out by an illegal terrorist organization.
Mohamed ElBaradei, the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency's virulently anti-Israel chairman, announced a deal has been reached between Iran and the US, Russia and France regarding Iran's nuclear program.
But now that the administration has agreed to an accord that effectively transforms America into a facilitator of Iran's nuclear weapons program, the time has come for Israel to start voicing its objections. Jewish Refugees
"At the same time that there were Palestinian refugees, there were hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees," said Sheetrit, whose family fled Morocco in 1957. "The difference was that in the Arab world, they tried to keep the refugees in refugee camps. In our case, the Israeli state took them all in. We did not try to use them as a political tool... "
Over 850,000 Jewish refugees left different Arab States after Israel declared its independence in 1948. Over 600,000 came to Israel and were absorbed into the society and became full Israeli citizens and an integral part of the state.
This is in contrast to the Palestinians refugees who never received citizenship or rights from the Arab States that host them. Since the Palestinians also did not accept a State of their own in 1948 nor in 2000, they are still stateless and refugees

About the KingsCalendar Publisher
R.P.BenDedek is the owner and Editor of KingsCalendar.com which was originally set up to publicize his research results into the Chronology of Ancient Israel. Those results were published under the title: 'The King's Calendar: The Secret of Qumran'.
Whilst there have been many attempts to solve the chronological riddle of the Bible's synchronisms of reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah and their synchronism with other Ancient Near Eastern Nations, no other research is based on a simple mathematical formula which could, if it is incorrect, be disproved easily. To date, no one has been able to dismiss the mathematical results of this research.
