A PIECE of broken pottery connects the Israelites to the destruction of a city immediately after Joshua’s “long day.”

Archaeologist and epigrapher Dr. Douglas Petrovich (https://thebibleseminary.academia.edu/DouglasPetrovich?swp=rr-ac-73154914), author of Origins of the Hebrews and The World’s Oldest Alphabet, joins us to discuss his new paper (https://www.academia.edu/73154914/_2022_The_Lachish_Milk_Bowl_Ostracon_A_Hebrew_Inscription_from_Joshuas_Conquest_at_Lachish) on the Lachish Milk Bowl Ostracon, a potsherd he calls a sort of ceramic business card—with writing he describes as a “proto-consonantal alphabetic script.”

Doug explains why this bit of ceramic is more proof that Hebrew is the world’s oldest alphabet.

After the break: Was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine inspired by “Putin’s Rasputin”?
