Μυστήριο αρχαίο μίκβε με αραμαϊκό γκραφίτι ανακαλύφτηκε ενώ χτιζόταν σχολείο στην Ιερουσαλήμ. Το μίκβε (τελετουργικός εξαγνισμός) απο την περίοδο του Δεύτερου Ναού ανακαλύφτηκε όταν μια πέτρα έπεσε σε μέχρι τότε άγνωστη σπηλιά. Η επιγραφή 2.000 ετών, άρχισε να αλλοιώνεται τη στιγμή που αποκαλύφτηκε.
An ancient ritual bath plastered in ancient graffiti from the Second Temple era has been found while ahead of digging the foundations for a new nursery school in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Arnona.
Ritual baths from that period are not rare in the Holy Land, but they don't usually feature time capsules in the form of writing and symbols. The space is highly unusual in featuring inscriptions in ancient Aramaic – albeit pretty much incomprehensible - on the plastered walls.
The writing and painting was done in mud and soot, and some carved into the soft stone. There are also dozens of images including a boat, palm trees and various plant species, and possibly even a menorah, says Re'em.
Examples of written Aramaic from the time of the Second Temple are very rare. The use of Aramaic on the walls suggess that it was the common language of the time, which could strengthen the argument that Jesus spoke Aramaic, as opposed to Hebrew.
By the way, there is certainly one other example of a Jerusalemite mikveh from the Second Temple age with graffiti all over it. That case however involved rather pedantic Australian soldiers from World War II, who carved their names and identity numbers into the ancient walls.
