Ancient Ten Commandments Tablet to be Auctioned at Sotheby's

The 1,500-year-old artifact, inscribed with a unique version of the Ten Commandments, is expected to sell for up to $2 million.

The inscription is in Paleo-Hebrew and includes a commandment unique to the Samaritan tradition, calling for worship on Mount Gerizim.
Sotheby's will display the tablet to the public starting December 5, with the auction scheduled for December 18 in New York.
The artifact's estimated value is between $1 million and $2 million, highlighting its importance as a cultural and religious symbol.
