According to experts, this is the first tomb discovered at a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 65 years.
The text on the grave marker is in Hebrew, which according to Times of Israel states, "Jacob (Iokobos) the convert swears upon himself that any who open this grave will be cursed."
An image of the grave marker was shared by the official account of Israel on Twitter on June 8 with the caption: "Things you shouldn't open: - Pandora's Box - An umbrella indoors - Ancient graves. An 1,800-year-old grave marker for a Jewish man named Jacob the Convert was recently discovered in the Galilee. The marker included an inscription warning people against opening the grave."

The marker was discovered last year but published in a joint press release from the University of Haifa and the Israel Antiquities Authority, according to Times of Israel. The outlet also spoke to IAA head Eli Eskosido, who said that the inscription belongs to late Roman or early Byzantine period.
