Ancient metal tablet is translated to reveal a terrifying curse
The 1,500-year-old lead tablet was unearthed in the fifties in the ruins of the theatre in Caesarea Maritima, Israel, built by King Herod the Great around the year 22 BC.

However, the inscription had been impossible to read until now, when a historian used an advanced imaging technique to better reveal the tablet's surface features.

'Tie the feet together, hinder the dance of Manna,' it read in Greek.

'Bind down the eyes, the hands, the feet, which should be slack for Manna when he will dance in the theatre.'

The architect of the curse beseeches the aid of a number of deities, including the Ibis-headed Egyptian god of writing, wisdom and judgement, Thoth.

Also invoked are the 'demons of the sky, demons of the air, demons of the earth, underworld demons, demons of the sea, of the rivers [and] demons of the springs.'

'Twist, darken, bind down, bind down together the eyes [of Manna]', the inscription continues — imploring that 'he should move slowly and lose his equilibrium' and 'should be bent and unseemly.'

I wish it said what Manna did to warrant such a curse against him.

He was probably a very successful athlete for Team Blue while the other guy was Team Green. They took their sports competitions deadly seriously.

Couldn't find any copy of the paper he published. The only site that had it would only give me the portion without the translation.

oh well.

Looking closer, the text was in GK. I erred in assuming it was in Hebrew. Ancient GK alchemy.

It's hilarious how the author assumed that 'Manna' was the name of the dancer. LOL. Also, can anyone imagine that the GK that inscribed it so carefully on Lead so it would endure time, would detail how viewers of a Theater dancer were so disappointed by a dancer that they tortured her/him to death?

Makes perfect sense.

Archeologists are the most ignorant and subjective group out of all the sciences. Wait? did I call it a science? LOL.

They say it's ancient Greek. A pretty formidable document.

Yeah it seems like a big stretch to call Manna one specific person. Reads more like an entity.

It would help precipitously if Manna was defined.
