1 gen 1000 anni a. C. - Tell es-Safi inscription

Descrizione:

The Tell es-Safi inscription was found in 2005 at the archaeological site at Tell es-Safi, identified with the biblical city of Gath. It was under the destruction layer at the beginning of Iron Age IIA (1000–925 BCE).

Seven letters, interpreted as two words, are written on the piece of pottery: ‘LWT (אלות) and WLT (ולת). This was initially suggested to be similar to what would have been the name of Goliath (גלית, GLYT), the Biblical character from Gath.

The time period and location matches exactly to Goliath of the Bible.
