Big discovery in Israel! This papyrus mentions wine and Jerusalem and
predates the Dead Sea scrolls by more than half a millennium! This 7th
Century BC papyrus fragment, written in paleo-Hebrew, is the oldest
mention of "Jerusalem." The bottom line includes the word
Jerusalem, which is spelled Yud-Resh-SHin-Lamed-Mem. To assist you in
seeing this word, I have added the modern Hebrew letters to the image.
