Oldest olive oil found, dating back 8000 years ago in Palestinian village in Galilee
Gary Yarus's insight:
The popular narrative about continued Hebrew / Jewish presence in the ancient land of Palestine that it dates back almost four thousand years, and almost as to suggest that nothing, and no other people before ever existed.Israeli archaeologists have for many years been trying to prove such theory. But even when we accept such Zionist motivated narrative, it’s interesting how a recent discovery, published in Israel Journal of Plant Sciences, of the oldest olive oil dating back to 8,000 years, in a Palestinian village in the Galilee, didn’t make much headlines,
Indeed Haaretz published this article without the usual fanfare about more archaeological site proving Hebrew connection to the land, as this may suggest to readers that perhaps other people did exist prior to the Zionist claim.
Indeed this discovery is significant not only that it dates 4,000 years prior to any claimed Hebrew connection to Palestine; but also that “olive oil existed and was being produced 8,000 years ago (and) it shows that 8,000 years ago, the civilization of the Levant had reached the second stage of domesticating plant life. The first stage was the domestication of lentils and grain, which began about 10,000 years ago. Trees such as the olive were the second stage.”
(Sepphoris, also known as Tzipori, Diocaesaraea, and Saffuriya is a village and an archeological site located in the central Galilee region, 6 kilometers north-northwest of Nazareth.)
