The Ignorant Archaeologists

A woman, a donkey, a shovel, a fish, and a Star of David.

They decided that this was a unique find and the writings were at
least three thousand years old. They chopped out the piece of
stone and had it brought to the museum where archaeologists from
all over the world came to study the ancient symbols. They held a
huge meeting after months of conferences to discuss what they
could agree was the meaning of the markings. The President of
their society stood up and pointed at the first drawing and said:

"This looks like a woman. We can judge that this race was family-
oriented and held women in high esteem. You can also tell they
were intelligent, as the next symbol resembles a donkey, so, they
were smart enough to have animals help them till the soil. The
next drawing looks like a shovel of some sort, which means they
even had tools to help them. Even further proof of their high
intelligence is the fish which means that if a famine had hit the
earth, whereby the food didn't grow, they would take to the sea
for food. The last symbol appears to be the Star of David which
means they were evidently Hebrews."

The audience applauded enthusiastically and the President smiled
and said, "I'm glad to see that you are all in full agreement
with our interpretations." Suddenly a little old man stood up in
the back of the room and said, "Idiots! You are all wrong about
what the writings say. First of all, everyone knows that Hebrew
is not read from left to right, but from right to left. Look
again. ... It now says: "Holy Mackerel, Dig The Ass On That
Woman!"
