Abstract

There are hundreds of ancient Egyptian papyri and thousands of Babylonian tablets in modern museums, yet ancient Hebrew writings are relatively rare. Only the Hebrew Bible preserves any literature from ancient Israel - and how old any part of it is, is disputed. Why are there so few examples of ancient Hebrew writings? Some answer that no literature was written before about 700 BC, if then. Is that the best answer? The article provides an up-to-date overview over authentic, disputed and forged materials.
