NEWS :: More Second Temple Evidence Uncovered
 

Dear Friend of Jerusalem,
 

Recently, we informed you of an extraordinary archaeological discovery that brings ancient Biblical history into the 21st century. Today, we invite you to learn more about this important story. Some of the original information has been updated.

An archaeological project under the auspices of the Shalem Center has uncovered a Biblical seal that dates back to the 5th century BCE.
The seal is now believed to be engraved with the name "Shlomit."

Shlomit is the name of the daughter of Zerubbabel, grandson of the Judean King Jehoachin, who led the first Jews back to Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity. Jehoachin helped construct the foundation of the Second Temple.

The seal was found under a tower constructed at the time of Nehemiah. For an informative account of this archaeological find and background about Nehemiah's wall, check out the Shalem newsletter account.

This discovery, in Jerusalem's City of David, further proves the ancient bond that the Jewish people made, and continue to have, with the Holy City of Jerusalem.
One thousand years before the Muslims invaded Jerusalem, the Jewish nation made Jerusalem its home: the center of its universe.
