Archaeologists have discovered a 500-year-old porcelain shard with a Chinese inscription on the Biblical Mount Zion in Jerusalem, revealing a previously unknown connection between the Ottoman Empire, the Holy Land of Israel, and Imperial China. The inscription reads, 'Forever we will guard the eternal spring,' but its meaning remains unclear. Researchers suggest that the inscription may indicate the Ottomans' admiration for Chinese porcelain. The artifact is believed to have arrived in Jerusalem through Chinese merchant colonies in Beirut, Tripoli, and Jerusalem. This discovery highlights the interconnectedness of the world even centuries ago.
