| wakeupnow User ID: 16300499 United States05/23/2012 08:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | JERUSALEM – Israeli archaeologists have discovered a 2,700-year-old seal that bears the inscription "Bethlehem," the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Wednesday, in what experts believe to be the oldest artifact with the name of Jesus' traditional birthplace. Quoting: KlLLUMINATI The tiny clay seal's existence and age provide vivid evidence that Bethlehem was not just the name of a fabled biblical town, but also a bustling place of trade linked to the nearby city of Jerusalem, archaeologists said. Eli Shukron, the authority's director of excavations, said the find was significant because it is the first time the name "Bethlehem" appears outside of a biblical text from that period. Shukron said the seal, 1.5 centimeters (0.59 inches) in diameter, dates back to the period of the first biblical Jewish Temple, between the eighth and seventh century B.C., at a time when Jewish kings reigned over the ancient kingdom of Judah and 700 years before Jesus was born.

I was reading about this on physorg earlier, it's a very significant find. [link to phys.org] It's interesting because this is the first proof of the existence of Bethlehem outside the Bible. But the dig itself has raised controversy. It is being underwritten by an extreme-right wing Jewish organization that seeks to populate the crowded Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan with Jewish settlers, arguing that they have ancient links to the area. Now they have the proof of those links... how convenient. Probably legit though, just more fuel for conflict... it's such a shame we can't just enjoy this as an interesting archaeological discovery.
