During the excavation of Herod’s palace at Masada between 1963 & 1965, a pottery jar was unearthed that contained a great many seeds of the Judean date palm, which had been extinct for some eight hundred years. The jar had been buried sometime between 155BC & 64AD. in 2005, after spending forty years in the archeological collections at Bar-Ilan University, three of the seeds were planted at Ketura in southern Israel. Eight weeks later, one sprouted, becoming the oldest seed to have germinated with human assistance & the only living example of this variety of palm. Methuselah, as it has been named, reached a height of nearly ten feet in 2015 & revealed that it was male when it started producing pollen. – www.impossibleobjectsmarfa.com/fragments-2/judean-date-palm The vintage 10-agorot coins are in near new condition.
