guy Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Israel is today one of the world’s great producers of dates. These date palm trees, however, are not the original date palm trees of Ancient Judaea. The original Israeli date palm trees were devastated by the Roman conquest of Ancient Judea. The Romans disrupted the date production. Also, human activity and climate change further impacted on their near-complete destruction by the 15th century. During the 1960s, archaeologist found ancient date seeds the fortress of Masada. Almost 40 years later they were planted. They grew the ancient palm trees, now producing the ancient dates.
