‘Biblical tree’ brought back to life may hide cure to cancer: Study

A seed nearly a millennium old, dubbed “Sheba,” has sprouted into a tree now standing at about 10 feet tall after being cultivated for 14 years. Unearthed during an archaeological dig in the Judean Desert in the late ’80s, this seed is believed to date from between 993 and 1202 CE and may belong to an extinct biblical tree species.
