Two Thousand Year old Seeds




The Land and the Book show

Summary: It's a story we first read about in a National Geographic article. Two thousand year old seeds are discovered at Herod the Great's desert fortress, Masada. The seeds are planted...and a date palm actually grows. They call the tree, Methuselah...and you'll hear all about it on The Land and the Book as we place a call to Israel for all the details. The Land and the Book...with Charlie Dyer, Jim Coakley and Jon Gauger.
