Based on the language and style, Gayer believes the inscription dates to the 1st or 2nd century CE. However, its poor preservation makes it unclear whether it belongs to the First Jewish Revolt, the years between uprisings, or the Bar Kochba Revolt.

Its proximity to the swords and a Bar Kochba coin suggests the latter period, but certainty remains elusive.

It's a fake!

The "Aramaic" inscription on the rock in Monty Python and the Holy Grail is actually gibberish, not a real Aramaic script. It was created by the film's art department as a visual gag to accompany the scene where King Arthur and his knights encounter the "Knights Who Say Ni".

The inscription appears on a large rock near the beginning of the movie, where the Knights Who Say Ni demand a shrubbery. While it resembles Aramaic or Hebrew writing, it's not a meaningful text. The phrase "Ni!" is the only actual linguistic element used by the Knights in that scene.

Something about “Here I sit, brokenhearted...” but the rest is illegible.
