Old Symbols

A team of archaeologists excavating in Israel came upon a cave. Written across the wall were the following symbols, in this order of appearance from left to right. A woman, a donkey, a shovel, a fish and a star of David.

It was considered a unique find, and the writings were said to be at least three thousand years old. The piece of stone was removed, brought to the museum, and archaeologists from around the world came to study the ancient symbols.

They held a huge meeting after months of conferences to discuss the meanings of the markings. The president of the society summarised findings and pointed to the first symbol:

"This looks like a woman. We can judge that there were family orientated 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 to help them till the soil. 

The next drawing looks like a shovel of some sort, which means that they even had tools to help them. 

Even further proof of their intelligence is the fish, which means that had a famine hit the earth and food didn't grow, they would take to the sea for food. 

The last symbol appears to be the star of David, which means that they were evidently Hebrews."

The audience applauded enthusiastically.

Then, a little old man stood up in the back of the room and spoke:

"Idiots! Hebrew is read from right to left."

The old man continues, what it actually says was:

"Holy mackerel! Dig the a*s on that woman!"
