Roots Of Knowledge Panel D1

“In the beginning. . .” is the introductory phrase inscribed in Hebrew at the bottom of this panel. Key to Dthe devel- opment of civilization was the written recording of language and its bequeathing transfer down through the ages. In this window is a collage of some of the earliest examples of written text: the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Tablet of Gilgamesh, the Stele of Kilamu, Chinese oracle bones, and the Dead Sea Scrolls.
