These definitions are completely incorrect. Jewish means people of the Tribe of Judah. Hebrew writing system has been around for a lot longer than people think. June of 1860 an armature archaeologist by the name of David Wyrick found a wedge shaped stone buried in twelve to fourteen inches of dirt in a pit adjacent to some Hopewell earthworks in what is now known as Newark Ohio.
