'Matanyahu' Seal Found near Solomon's Temple

From the time that we where together Ephraim and Yudah!

Seal with name similar to Prime Minister's found in the physically closest structure to King Solomon's Temple ever unearthed.

Another amazing find on the Temple Mount: Archeologists digging under Robinson's Arch in the archeological garden next to the Kotel have found remains of a structure from the late First Temple period, under the base of the drainage ditch currently being exposed.
This is the closest structure, geographically, to King Solomon's Temple ever unearthed.
On the floor of the ancient structure, the diggers discovered an ancient Hebrew seal from the late First Temple period. It is made of semiprecious stone and bears the name of the owner of the seal: "To Matanyahu Son of Ho…" (the rest of the name is not legible).
The name Matanyahu appears twice in Chronicles 1:25, in a section listing names of Hebrews whom King David had appointed to sing G-d's praise and perform other functions at the Holy Tabernacle. A few lines away, the name Netanyahu also appears. Both names are etymologically very close and mean the same thing: "Gift to [or from] G-d." Read the rest on: Arutz7
