The Small Lead tablet found at Mount Ebal, Israel

On the slopes of Mount Ebal, archaeologists uncovered a rectangular stone structure that some researchers believe matches the altar described in the Book of Joshua, built by the Israelites shortly after entering the land of Canaan. Inside the structure, excavators later found a small folded lead tablet, so fragile it had to be examined without fully unfolding it, bearing what some researchers claim are faint traces of the oldest known Hebrew inscription ever found in Israel. Other archaeologists dispute both the dating of the altar and the legibility of the tablet's text entirely. Sites like this sit right at the boundary between archaeology and legend, where the physical evidence is real but what it actually proves is still being argued over. Do unresolved archaeological debates like this make you trust the history more or less?
