Ancient tablet found on Mount Ebal predates known Hebrew inscriptions
‘You are cursed by the God’: Israeli-European team of scientists performed X-ray tomographic measurements with different scanning parameters to reveal the hidden text.
By JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH

An early Hebrew inscription from Mount Ebal near Nablus that was found on a folded lead tablet during an excavation in the 1980s recently underwent x-ray tomographic measurements to reveal hidden text. Epigraphic analysis of the data revealed a formulaic curse written in a proto-alphabetic script likely dating to Late Bronze Age that predates any previously known Hebrew inscription in Israel by at least 200 years.

Wow. According to the article, the size of that tablet was very small, less than an inch square(2cmx2cm). It's had to take a trained eye to see the value in that small piece of archeological find, and THEN to realize it had writing on it! It's amazing what God has seen fit to preserve over thousands of years!
