Cannabis Incense in Ancient Israel?

<p>In late May 2020, a team comprised of researchers from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.imj.org.il/en" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Israel Museum</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.agri.gov.il/en/home/default.aspx" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Volcani Center, Israel</a>, made a remarkable discovery: cannabis residue upon an ancient incense altar. The study, published in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03344355.2020.1732046" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Tel Aviv</em></a>, demonstrated that through analysis of remains atop two altars from the Judahite Shrine at&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tel_Arad" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Tel Arad</a>, west of the Dead Sea, scientists identified frankincense on one and cannabis on the other. It marks the first such discovery of cannabis in a Judahite context.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@rogerdisaacs/cannabis-incense-in-ancient-israel-24c915b7a0a7"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
