The brutal Emperor Titus ordered the destruction of everything precious to the Jews: towns, villages, even their beloved Judean date palm trees. \u003cp\u003eCenturies passed. The Jewish people were scattered, and the Judean date palm faded into extinction. Then, in 1963, a team of archaeologists uncovered two-thousand-year-old date palm seeds at the ruined fortress of Masada. For another forty years the seeds waited--until 2004, when Israeli scientist Dr. Sarah Sallon had a big, courageous idea. What if those ancient seeds could bring the Judean date palm back to life? Dr. Sallon recruited her friend Dr. Elaine Solowey, and their amazing experiment began.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntertwining world history, the scientific process, and colorfully detailed artwork, \u003ci\u003eThe Miracle Seed\u003c\/i\u003e follows the Judean date palm's journey from tragic extinction to incredible rebirth.
