2,000 Year Old Extinct Date Pit Resurrected

Archaeologists found ancient date pits that belong to the extinct Judean date palms. In an incredible attempt to bring them back to life, a few trees sprouted!
In this episode, we visit the date farms in the south of Israel, see the ancient date palm, and share a delicious frozen date recipe.

@@4thegloryofthelord , I follow several biblical archeological blogs as well as being a faithful reader of the Israeli press. Every few years there have been updates on the trees. You might find articles about reviving Balm of Gilead and frankincense in Israel interesting. Maybe our wonderful vloggers will check those stories out too!! Hint hint.

Fantastic video! There's so much time invested for the farmers producing dates. A date farmer in southern California told me it takes 6-7 years before a new tree produces the first crop. For several years, we farmed luffa and always saved the seeds to replant for the next year. God is amazing in how He designed seeds that could last for so long.
