Just in time for Hanukkah, a 1,000-year-old archaeological find may just have ended a centuries old debate on what the original design of the Menorah in the Holy Temples resembled.

Discovered by the Temple Mount Sifting Project, the 1,000-year-old potsherd originating from the Temple Mount bearing a symbol resembling a menorah is being hailed by archaeologists as a significant discovery.

According to archaeologists, based on the type of clay and texture of the potsherd, the find dates back to the Byzantine rule over Jerusalem (324-640 CE). Although the whole design of the menorah is cut off because the potsherd is broken, archaeologists believe that the drawing was an attempt to draw the Temple Menorah.

Very interesting. So many things the ancients have left us and are yet to be discovered. Isreal is truly an amazing country.

Thanks Tom, I'm not Jewish, just thought the article was interesting, and fitting for the time of year 👍👍👍

Speaking of things yet to be discovered, scientists have just named a new dinosaur, from bones they found, if I remember correctly, back in the late 80's. I read the article earlier, can't remember where now though lol (getting old) The new name began with a "K" that much I remember 😁


Couldn't find the article, but found this video if you're interested...

CE, Common Era. If prefer to call both " BC - Before Christ and AD - Anno Domini, I thought you would autocorrect. Maybe you copied and pasted. Anyway you get my meaning.

Thanks LJ.. Glad you liked it. That's so true about stuff yet to be discovered. We know more about the planets in our solar system than we do about the oceans here on earth, of which only like 7% has been explored... Mind boggling 😳😳😳😁
