Governor of Jerusalem (2,700 Year Old Discovery)

A 2,700-year-old ‘governor of Jerusalem’ seal impression has been discovered.  Very interesting!

“Israeli archaeologists unveiled on Monday a 2,700-year-old clay seal impression which they said belonged to a biblical governor of Jerusalem.

“The artifact, inscribed in an ancient Hebrew script as ‘belonging to the governor of the city’, was likely attached to a shipment or sent as a souvenir on behalf of the governor, the most prominent local position held in Jerusalem at the time, the Israel Antiquities Authority said.

“The impression, the size of a small coin, depicts two standing men, facing each other in a mirror-like manner and wearing striped garments reaching down to their knees. It was unearthed near the plaza of Judaism’s Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem.”
