From Jerusalem Seeks Return of Ancient Tablet:
Jerusalem’s mayor, Uri Lupolianski, has asked the Turkish government to return a 2,700-year-old tablet uncovered in an ancient subterranean passage in the city, as a “gesture of goodwill” between allies. Known as the Siloam inscription, the tablet was found in a tunnel hewed to channel water from a spring outside Jerusalem’s walls into the city around 700 BCE – a project mentioned in the Old Testament’s Book of Chronicles. It was discovered in 1880 and taken by the Ottoman rulers to Istanbul, where it is now in the Istanbul Archaeology Museum.
