2,500-year-old Potsherd With Inscription Bearing Name Of Persian King Darius Found In Israel

Advisor to Israel s President Finds Rare 2,500-Year-Old Inscription with Name of Persian King Darius

A few months ago, Israeli President Isaac Herzog's Media Advisor, Eylon Levy, and a friend of his, Yakov Ashkenazi, were walking in Tel Lachish National Park in southern Israel when they came across a small pottery shard, a broken piece of pottery material, with some kind of inscription on it. They notified the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), which sent it to a laboratory. To the great surprise of the experts, the shard was 2,500 hundred years old and provided evidence of the government of Persian King Darius the Great at Lachish at the turn of the 5th century BC. According to a news release by the IAA, "This is the first discovery of an inscription bearing Darius the Great's name anywhere in the Land of Israel."
