Prophetic? Ancient Judean Tree Seed Sprouts, Blossoms and Now Flourishing

Teresa Neumann : Oct 8, 2013  Staff – Popular Archaeology

Ancient Hebrews considered the Judean date palm tree the "tree of life."

Date Palm(Israel)—In 1973, archaeologist Ehud Netzer and his team uncovered a 2,000-year-old clay jar filled with seeds. The ancient seeds were subsequently stored away in Tel Aviv at Bar-Ilan University, until, in 2005, botanical research Elaine Solowey at Hadassah Hospital was given one for an experimental planting.

Date PalmTold she was "mad" for thinking the seed would ever sprout, Solowey went ahead and did the "impossible," planting the seed in a pot at Kibbutz Ketura. It sprouted into a seedling and produced its first blossom in 2011 and now reportedly "flourishes as a young date palm tree." (Photo: Benjtheijneb, Wikimedia Commons)

Not surprisingly, it was given the name Methuselah.

According to a report in Popular Archaeology, Methuselah looks just like other modes date palm trees, with one, "very unusual" difference; a third leaf.

The report also notes that the Judean date tree has many remarkable healing properties and that for Christianity; it has long "been regarded as a symbol of peace."
