At Lepenski Vir, a locality situated on the Serbian side of the Danube River, excavations were made, and they began in the year 1965, but after 1971 the place was covered by the river waters where the Portile de Fier Dam (The Iron Gates) is located. Several settlements were uncovered on top of each other or near each other, and 136 of the constructions found there had several altars of worship. The archaeologists who studied them concluded that the settlement was founded sometime towards the end of 8000 BCE, and they dated the constructions and the ceramics between 6500-5000 BC. Among some other objects of cult discovered, there was an egg made of calcar which was chiseled on the outside, and it has some kind of serpents painted in red on yellow background. On another egg made out of burned clay (see the picture below), there are 35 carved signs, out of which only seven of them are not among those used in the writing on the Lead Tablets discovered at Sinaia, and three of them represent the Tree of Life, with slight differences between them. Out of the 25 signs inscribed on this egg, which are also found on the Lead Tablets of the Gets, about which the Know-it-all angry hissing snakes hiss that they are fake, only two signs will appear in the Greek alphabet 6000 years later, therefore this is undeniable proof that they adopted the alphabet from the Pelasgians, and then they spread only lies about them, until they pushed them out of History, because this is their typical behaviour and nature so much appreciated by the entire European culture hatched in the 19th century, the so called of the " enlightened ones " , but in fact to us it is that of the " dark " ones of all kinds, and of all nations. This archeological proof also demonstrates to History that the Lead Tablets discovered at Sinaia are authentic and the information they convey is genuine. In 2013, two sandstone tablets, as small as a box of matches were discovered in a field, where often times vestiges of our prehistory have been uncovered. The place is located in the village of Handresti, Oteleni commune in Jassi County. They were from Cucuteni A and B Periods, that is 5500-3500 BC, because these ancient sites, at Cucuteni and Handresti are approximately 40 kilometers far from each other, proof that our prehistoric civilization existed east of the Carpathian Mountains.The inscriptions on the two stone tablets are identical to the writing symbols of the Gets on the Lead Tablets discovered at Sinaia. Out of the 16 letters written on the two stone tablets (eight on each of them), three are symbols which represent theosophical concepts, (the Lightning of the Heavenly Father, the Serpent of Knowledge, and the Celestial Egg or the Universe), and 13 of them are letters with phonetic value, which appear 4000 years later on the Lead Tablets discovered at Sinaia, therefore this also proves their authenticity. In the chart below, in the first row one can see the written signs inscribed on the tablets discovered at Handresti, while the row below shows some letters used in the Lead Tablets found at Sinaia. Letter Î written on the stone tablet found at Handresti, also appears written on the lead tablet of the Gets, but it was written 4000 years later, being used by the Romanians until 1863, when A.I. Cuza passed a law to ban the use of the Rumanian Cyrillic alphabet, in favor of the Latin one. Since the signs in the Cyrillic alphabet are found mostly in the alphabets of the Gets, this proves without a doubt that the tablets are authentic and the information they convey is true. In 2003, among the ruins of a prehistoric Palestinian city of Ashkelon were discovered pieces of 19 broken vases with some inscriptions on them, which proves that the local population knew at least

A cuneiform tablet from the Ophel in Jerusalem2010 •
Asmall fragment of a Late Bronze Age letter in Akkadian was discovered in the Ophel excavations in Jerusalem. Its sign-forms suggest that it is a rough contemporary of the Amarna letters, including the letters of Abdi-Heba, the ruler of Jerusalem. The analysis of the tablet by optical mineralogy, supported by XRF spectrometry, reveals that its raw material is typical of the Terra Rossa soils of the Central Hill Country. It is suggested, therefore, that it was a local product of Jerusalem scribes, made of locally available soil. This, coupled with the fact that its find site is close to what must have been the acropolis of LB Jerusalem, makes it likely that the letter fragment does in fact come from a letter of a king of Jerusalem. It may well be an archival copy of a letter from Jerusalem to the Pharoah.
A tiny fragment of a cuneiform tablet was recovered in the Ophel excavations in Jerusalem in 2013. Even smaller than the fragment recovered in the 2009–2010 excavations (published in IEJ 60), the fragment preserves only parts of five signs. Nevertheless, on the basis of the provenance study and an analysis of the physical tablet and sign forms, we are able to suggest a Ramesside date for the tablet and propose that this fragment, like the earlier tablet, comes from a royal letter.
This publication is a synthesis of the results of a study that approaches the problem of locating the provenance of the Amarna Tablets from a new angle. Through mineralogical and chemical analyses of samples from over 300 tablets housed in museums in Berlin, London, Oxford, and Paris, the project aims at pinpointing their geographic origin and clarifying the geographic history of the ancient Near East. It launches a new analytical tool for resolving historical problems that have haunted research for decades. In the case of the Amarna archive, the introduction of this scientific technique helps to clear up the controversy over the location of Alashiya and Tunip; opens the way to track the territorial expansion of the kingdom of Amurru; enables reconstruction of the territorial disposition of the Canaanite city-states of the Late Bronze Age; and sheds light on the Egyptian administration system in Canaan.
