| Another Commiphora Credit: JMK |
"But the Bible was right", kind of. Some kind of weird resurrection scenario featuring a plant of the genus Commiphora (myrrhs) which could be from a population or even species previously thought extinct.
Israeli scientists have succesfully grown a myrrh tree from a 1000-year old seed retrieved during archeological excavations north of Jerusalem. They speculate that the tree (nicknamed Sheba) might be the source of a medicine mentioned in the Bible. However, final identification of its species haven´t been possible yet, since the tree still after 12 years haven´t bloomed a single time!
Of course stuff like this makes it into the news, amen.
