| The Ivory Pomegranate, believed to be the only surviving item from King Solomon's temple. It contains an inscription, in ancient Hebrew lettering, reads: “Belonging to the Temple of the Lord (Yahweh), holy to the priests.” However, a team of experts found the thumb-sized pomegranate dates to the Bronze period, or about 3,400 years ago, meaning that it is considerably older than the first Jewish Temple, and the inscription was added recently, the museum said in a statement. I believe this "Ivory Pomegranate" is the real thing...MB |

| Replica of the Ivory Pomegranate |
| This is a cute replica of the Ivory Pomegranate, I bought it a few years ago online. It is my understanding that the original "Ivory Pomegranate" was given to I.A.A. (Israeli Antiquities Authority) by Ron E. Wyatt sometime after he discovered the Ark of the Covenant in 1982. I hope some day somebody discovers another one, in order to silence Ron's critics. Amén! |
