On: Arabic characters found woven into burial costumes...

[rspeer]

Is it actually shocking? Isn't it just a statement the Orthodox church would agree with ("there is no god except God") written in Arabic?

[aedron → rspeer]

It's literally the first commandment.

[hprotagonist → aedron]

not necessarily. monolateralism and monotheism aren’t exactly the same.

most versions of the commandments specify that the god of abraham is the only god that ought to be worshipped.

strict monotheism came later.

edit: that said, yes, it should be totally unsurprising.
