On Thursday, researchers announced that they had discovered a marble tablet dating back more than 15,000 years from the "Jesus miracle site," according to the Blaze.
The Israeli researchers say that the tablet contained important Aramaic text with letters written in Hebrew. It was found in an interior room that is believed to be a synagogue.
"This discovery bolsters the belief which was until now considered folklore that this is the settlement of Kursi which Jesus visited and where he performed 'the Miracle of the Swine,'" said site director Michal Artzi.
The find is of significance because it suggests that Jews did live in Galilee, according to Y Net News.
The tablet is 59 inches long, and two of the words translate to "amen" and "marmaria," which may refer to the virgin Mary or marble, according to Breitbart.
"It consists of eight lines, and you usually don't find so many words in Hebrew letters carved in stone," said Artzi. "The assumption is that whomever the inscription was dedicated to had enormous influence on the local people."
"There is no other dedication as detailed ... among the archaeological discoveries made in Israel up to now," Artzi added.
Researchers studied that site before and were able to uncover more discoveries due to the recently dropped water levels.
