A form something like Shalem (sh-a-l-m) appears on the campaign
reliefs of Rameses II on the Ramesseum at Thebes. See David Rohl "A
Test of Time" pp.4-5. Rohl quotes Kitchen as concluding that this is a
reference to Jerusalem. Well over 1000 years earlier than DSS, on
Kitchen's dating.

On a recent discussion on the form of the word Jerusalem, I have come
across the form yrw$lym in a number of DSS, which would make it the oldest
form we can establish.
Nicht wahr?
