Ancient Tablet Unearthed
When little Imri picked up the 1.1-square-inch tablet, he figured someone had dropped it there by accident. But when his parents handed over the tablet to Israel's National Treasures Department, scientists realized that such an object had never been seen before.
The tablet contained inscriptions that depicted a scene of a man leading a naked slave whose hands were tied behind his back. Archaeologists believe that the tablet dates from the 12th century B.C. and that the inscriptions describe the power struggles between the different settlements of those days. Amazing, huh?
