epa10035091 A relief is engraved in a side of the 'Magdala Stone' displayed at the Magdala Center in the Galilee Sea costal village of Migdal, Israel, 26 June 2022. The Magdala Stone was discovered in 2009 during the construction of the Magdala Center when archaeologists found it in a first-century synagogue in Galilee, as well as the remains of the ancient city of Magdala which is believed to be the hometown of Mary Magdalene. A press release describes the stone as carrying reliefs believed to be schematic representations of the Second Temple, according to scholars and archeologists. On the front of the stone is shows the earliest engraved depiction of a menorah found in a synagogue. The stone is believed that it was used as a 'bimah', a table from which the Torah was read. Its presence testifies the strong connection between Magdala's inhabitants and the Second Temple in Jerusalem, the media release says. EPA/ATEF SAFADI
