“Goliath” Inscribed on Philistine Pottery
The oldest Philistine inscription to date was found in Tel es-Safi, believed to be the ancient town of Gath by an expedition led by Aren Maeir of Bar-Ilan University. It is an inscription scratched on pottery bearing Goliath’s name.1 Samuel 17:4A champion of the Philistine forces stepped forward; his name was Goliath of Gath, and he was six cubits and a span tall.
Visión general
A potsherd with the two names “AWLT and WLT” (Alwat and Walat) was found in the town of Gath (Tel es-Safi). The two names are etymologically very close to Goliath which in the past have been etymologically compared to Goliath before the potsherd were found.
