Post your best artifacts and watch me debunk them! :) I've done this before and never lost.
To save some humiliation, lets lay down some ground rules and guidelines.
"dated paleographically" means someone DID do Hard Science(HS) dating of the materials and results, to put it mildly, didn't match, so the Curators have decided to keep results secret and not allow any more testing, due to projected loss in Tourist Revenue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketef_Hinnom_scrolls

WTF does the artifact actually mean or say. My "paleo-Hebrew"(AKA not "Hebrew") and ancient Greek is a bit rusty, so we'll have to rely on other's translations. My Latin is a LITTLE better.
Very generic "yeah, you guys are blessed if you pray" type stuff that generically seems to exist in any and all cultures, alone without context, isn't really proof of an otherwise very specific and INTOLERANT(of other competing dogma) religion.
Even if (and its a big if) something, without other context, translates to "Israel", some other societies mere name of a region doesn't mean the society NOW using that name existed in any way. Location names seem to stick around. Witness the many feather Indian names of American States, rivers, etc.
Many people like to hang onto hard to spell and pronounce first and/or last names, but Jews are famously quick to adopt names of pre-existing host cultures.
The Cross is a pre-0AD common pagan symbol and among other things is one of the most basic engineering structures any culture creates out of two sticks, to hang shit off of to get it off the dirt, and more visible. Its also "X marks the spot" indicator that two of the same stroke means "I meant to do that" vs "I'm a careless slob". The "Crosses" on many pre-1000AD Roman coins are a better match for the new model sword with extended hand guards that could be used without a shield either doublPost too long.
