Photographers take pictures on May 6, 2009 of a 2,000-year-old papyrus document found by Israeli authorities in Jerusalem. Israeli authorities have recovered what appears to be a rare 2,000-year-old papyrus document they believe was initially dug up in an illegal excavation, an antiquities specialist said. The document is in ancient Hebrew script in a style of writing mainly known from the Dead Sea Scrolls and from inscriptions in ossuaries and coffins. The upper line of the text reads: "Year 4 to the destruction of Israel," the antiquities authority said. AFP PHOTO/MENAHEM KAHANA (Photo credit should read MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP via Getty Images)
