(*»►— (Palcor Agency)—Prof. Harry Tor cznyer, expert on Semitic language* of the Hebrew University of Jeru salem. said Prlday that 12 Inscribed potsherds found several days ago at Te! Adduwclr, ancient Lachlsh. by J. L. Starkey, head of the Well come archaedologlcal research ex pedition, date back definitely to the time of Erenuah. 2500 yean ago. Professor Torcznyer 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 made In the period of the First Temple. Dr. 8tarkey has entrusted the task of deciphering the important fragments to Professor Torcznyer. The latter stated that the dis covery of tne site of ancient Lach lsh. 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 period of the Kings It was declared that this newest find, en riching the facts already assem bled by archaeology, will go a far way toward causing a revision of the skeptical attitude toward the Biblical accounts which prevails In some quarters. Lachish was the fortress which offered resistance to Nebuchadnez zar. 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 Joslah, Jehnahax. Jehoisklm. Jeholachin until the days of Zedekiah. covering the pe riod between 638 B. C. and 303 B C. According to Professor Torcznyer potsherds are likely to throw extra ordinary ll.ht on the existing knowledge of Jeremiah’s time. The Starkey discovery represents one of the few extrs-Blbllcal documents on scripture. Haw you seen the new Olda moblles?—Adv CUBAN ARMY TRIES REBELS HAVANA.
