One appears to have a beard and the other is without. Even the maker\u2019s fingerprint can be seen in the lead impression. Beneath both figures is a line of as-yet undeciphered text in an ancient Hebrew script. <\/p>\n<p>Astonishingly, one of the booklets appears to bear the words \u2018Saviour of Israel\u2019 \u2013 one of the few phrases so far translated. <\/p>\n<p>The owner of the cache is Bedouin trucker Hassan Saida who lives in the Arab village of Umm al-Ghanim, Shibli.
