I hate that too. Didn’t realize it. Oh well, it’s a very good article. Has pictures, one of the ancient sample. If you go to nytimes.com and search for “Rediscovered,” can you get in that way without the e-mail? That’s how I found it (I had the print edition as a guide).

It seems to be a great article, too..with a lot of history. I’ll go to bed now. Sorry for hi-jacking your thread...

“Boy I hate NYT and their stupid “give us your email address” login page - I might have read the story otherwise.”
They might find, though, that ModelBreaker is an 87 year old woman living in Detroit. That might just be wrong.

I'm thinking that this would be a good color for the "Ghost Flames" on my new trike.

The TV series, “The Naked Archeologist” ran a segment on this some time ago. It was one of the better episodes.

They had a red heifer born in Israel several years ago which was supposed to be a sign the 3rd temple was near. Guess not.

Boy I hate NYT and their stupid “give us your email address” login page ... Check out Bugmenot. It's a good way to avoid these loathsome logons.

The techelet continued to be produced until the Muslim conquest, not the Roman conquest.
