The controversy surrounding an ancient “curse tablet” continues (see previous post). Originally thought to be a lead “curse tablet” written in ancient Hebrew 3,000 years ago, some researchers suggest it might be really just a fishing weight with no discernible writing at al. It had been suggested that it was “the earliest proto-alphabetic Hebrew text — including the name God, “YHWH” — ever.”
