Gotta feel for those Sumerians. And...thanks to The Onion for bringing this to light:

which makes stories like this all the more worrying!

JERUSALEM — A 3,000 year-old inscription discovered at a site where the Bible says David slew Goliath has been deciphered, showing it to be the earliest known Hebrew writing, Israeli archaeologists said on Thursday.
The pottery shard with five lines of text in the proto-Canaanite script that was used by Hebrews, Philistines and others in the region was discovered 18 months ago.
The writing was decrypted by Gershon Galil of the University of Haifa who "has shown this is a Hebrew inscription," said a statement from the university. etc..
Would like to know a bit more about the why it is specificily Hebrew..

Funny!! How can a script be proto-Canaanite and Hebrew at the same time? From what I know Hebrew was one of the languages which later derived from Canaanite but didn't exist at the same time. It is easy to see the bias the author has for Hebrew and the attempt to make it older thus laying a more nationalistic claim, over other peoples in the region to the land.
