Alphabetic inscriptions on an ancient stone slab (left) have been identified by a researcher as Hebrew and translated. A drawing of the slab’s inscriptions (right) shows early Hebrew letters next to corresponding modern Hebrew letters (green). Inscriptions along the left edge of the slab translate as “The one having been elevated is weary to forget.” Inscriptions across the top translate as “The overseer of minerals, Ahisemach.”

LETTER STONE Inscriptions in stone slabs from Egypt, including this specimen dating to almost 3,500 years ago, contain the world’s oldest alphabet, which one researcher now argues was an early form of Hebrew. New translations of these inscriptions contain references to figures from the Bible, including Moses.

Well this will light a fire in the Left’s anti-Semitism, I think.

It is an interesting analysis, however.

It’s paleo-Hebrew and fun to learn.

Anyone know how ancient Sumerian fits in here?

Does this mean Jews were settled in the area long before the Muslims? Who knew?

It looks to me that the text is about a Texas Longhorns game and the official is signaling a touchdown.

According to the Bible, the Israelites lived in Goshen. If these texts were found in various places, they are likely to have been found in places where no Israelites were living.

Anyway, how can they tell Hebrew from Canaanite?

The modern letters shown here are not Hebrew. They are from the Aramaic block letters adopted by the scribes circa Jesus’ time or a bit earlier to replace the true Hebrew alphabet, which looks like a bunch of hens scratching the farmyard.
