They found in Jerusalem a seal of 2600 years belonging to a eunuch mentioned in the Bible.

In the City of David in Jerusalem, they made a unique and unusual archaeological discovery: a seal of 2600 years with Hebrew names.

The discovery was made in a public building that was destroyed during the destruction of the First Temple and that was revealed in the Archaeological excavations in the city of David.

Among the discoveries was found a seal dating from the time of the First Temple with the inscription: "(owned by) Natan Melech, King's servant"The name Natan Melech appears in the Bible in the book of Kings 23:11"He also took away the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun at the entrance to the temple of God, next to Nathan-Melech's room eunuch, who was responsible for the common lands, and burned the sun's chariots on the fire. "

Still in the same building, in the time of the First Temple, were discovered large remains of stones of the time, remnants of the soil of the time and other elements that seem have been cremated during the destruction of the temple.

Professors Yuval Gadot of Tel Aviv University and Yiftah Shalev of the Antiquities Authority explained that "the discovery of a public building like this on the west side of the City of David provides a lot of information about the structure of the city in this region. "

In addition, he explains that the remains showing the destruction of the city in 586, "strengthen our understanding of the intensity of the destruction of the city".
