The black stone seal has been dated back 2,700 years, researchers said.
A rare stone seal that dates back millennia has been found in Jerusalem , the Israel Antiquities Authority said Thursday. The black stone seal has been dated back 2,700 years and was found near the Temple Mount's southern wall, the authority said in a news release. The stone was found amid an excavation in the Davidson Archaeological Garden, where many ancient relics have been previously discovered.
The object was likely worn by a man who had a senior position in the administration of the ancient kingdom of Judah, the authority said. The stone seal would have been made by a local craftsman and worn as an amulet to show authority. After that man died, the amulet was passed down to his son, who added the two names on either side of the genie.
