By Newly-Found Writings
JERUSALEM. March 15- 0W
(Palcor Agency)—Prof. Harr? Tor*
exnyer, expert an Semitic languages
of the Hebrew University of Jeru
salem. said Friday that 12 Inscribed
potsherds found several days ago
at Tel Adduweir, ancient Lachiah.

the time of Eremiah. 2500 years
ago
Professor Toresnyer said a re
markable aspect of the script was
that it appears to be written In or
dinary Ink, such as might be used
today and that the discovery is
“the most valuable find ever mads
In the period of the First Temple.
Dr. 8tarkey has entrusted the
task of deciphering the Important
fragments to Professor Toresnyer.
The latter stated that the dis
covery of the site of ancient Lach
iah. greatest fortress In the southern
area of the kingdom of Judah, adds
irrefutable testimony of the ac
curacy of the Bible In its account
of the peridd of the Kings. It was i

way toward causing a revision of
the skeptical attitude toward the
Biblical accounts which prevails In
some quarters.
Lachlsh was the fortress which
offered resistance to Nebuchadnes
sar. king of Babylon, when he swept
down upon Judah after King Zede
klah had renounced the allegiance
of his kingdom to Babylon. Jere
miah was the great prophet of that
era. He had been preaching dur.
ing the reigns of Jostah, Jehoahsi.
Jehotakim, Jeholschln until the
days of Zedeklah. covering the pe
riod between 838 B. C. and Ml B. O.
According to Professor Torcsnyer
potsherds are likely to throw extra
ordinary E.ht on the existing
knowledge of Jeremiah's time. The
Starkey discovery represents one of
the few extra-Blblleal documents
on scripture.
