Cursed, You Will Surely Die!
from A View from the Bunker · host Dr. Douglas Petrovich
Somebody really, really wanted the ruler of Jerusalem around 1300 BC to die. And he was probably a Hebrew.Dr. Doug Petrovich, epigrapher and author of The World’s Oldest Alphabet and Origins of the Hebrews, explains that the curse inscription found at Jerusalem is not, as it’s been described, proto-Canaanite, but another example of very early Hebrew script—more evidence to refute the claim that Moses couldn’t have written the first five books of the Bible because the Hebrews didn’t have a written language until centuries later.
