Ancient Letter to Pharaoh Found

Archaeologists in Jerusalem have unearthed the most ancient written document ever found in the Holy City – a tiny fragment of a letter thought to be addressed to Akhenaten. The fragment is believed to be a contemporary of the 380 tablets discovered in the 19th century at Amarna in Akhenaten’s archives.
