Promissory Note for Dates
A cuneiform with a promissory note dating back to 512 BCE shows that life continued in the Babylonian exile under King Darius.
It reads: "Witnesses: Tub-Ya son of Nir-Ya(ma)... (Written in) Al-Yahudu, on the 3rd day of Elul, year 10 of Darius, king of Babylon and the lands."Back in the Land of Israel, the political climate was changing as Jews were struggling to safely resume life and establish themselves.
