guy Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) A 2000-year-old financial record has been found in Jerusalem. Quote The inscription is on a broken fragment of limestone tablet. It consists of seven fragmented lines written in Hebrew, alongside numbers. This, the Israel Antiquities Authority suggests, is a financial record from about 2,000 years ago. Quote The inscription contained seven lines of letters and numbers and is believed to be a receipt or payment instruction dating to the time of the Second Temple, and ends with the name ‘Shimon’, followed by the Hebrew letter “mem.” (M) understood to represent a coin value and the letter "resh," (R) indicating the value of a quarter. https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/2023-05-17/ty-article/israeli-archaeologists-find-2-000-year-old-financial-record-in-jerusalem/00000188-28eb-df77-afe9-69ef95060000 https://www.ynetnews.com/travel/article/rkzwcwfhn Edited May 17, 2023 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
