Rare 4,000-year-old artifact mentioned in the Bible 25
times is discovered in Israel's 'Cave of Skulls'

Archaeologists have discovered a rare artifact that is
found throughout the Bible's Old Testament.

They discovered a 3,800-year-old textile colored with
'scarlet worm,' a dye that is mentioned 25 times in
scripture, in a cave in Israel.

The red dye was created from the carcasses and eggs of
an insect, which people would grind up into a power
to color garments.

The textile featured woolen threads dyed red, which
had been weaved through uncolored linen threads to
form a lattice-like design.

The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced the
findings on Thursday, after finding the less than
two-centimeter textile hiding in the 'Cave of Skulls'
in the Judean Desert.

   Well - that PROVES that EVERY WORD in the Torah/Bible
   is 101% TRUE !!!  :-)

   Inform Rhett and Scarlett down at Taro .....

   Anyway, it's two tiny squares of some rough fabric
   dyed with bug-goo. Probably the "modern look" at
   the time. Might make for good book covers, but
   scrolls were still high-tech media back then.

   Do they still make "books" or have the Firemen
   gotten rid of all those hazards ?

   However the real money was still in the cloth
   dyed with the purple snail-goo.
