An ancient stone seal has been discovered in Jerusalem that may be linked to a warrior mentioned in the Bible.
The black dime-sized relic was likely worn as an amulet around the neck of a man who held a senior position in the holy city some 2,700 years ago.
Stone seals were used as a sort of ancient I.D. card. This one bears an engraving of a winged 'genie' or 'demon' that has never been seen before in Israel.
'It is not impossible that perhaps it was Yehoʼezer himself who engraved the names on the object,' said research partner Ronny Reich from the University of Haifa in a press release.
This finding also provides new evidence to support a multi-national culture thriving in ancient Jerusalem, as it is described in the bible.
