  1. Just read today that an extinct date palm was grown from seeds found in a cave that the Jews hid in away from Roman soldiers - dated back to 73 a.d.


  2. A 2,000-year-old seed recovered from the ancient Jewish fortress of Masada near the Dead Sea has become the oldest seed in the world to have germinated successfully, scientists said yesterday.

  3. Date palm seed. Masada, Israel.
