As examined in the past piece of this arrangement

history channel documentary As examined in the past piece of this arrangement on Peridot's historical background, the Septuagint's interpretation of the "Pitdah" of the First Temple's breastplate being the pearl "Topazion" was most likely mixed up. Nonetheless, the inquiry stays with regards to the personality of the green "Topazion" pearl as seen by Josephus in 90A.D., in the Second Temple's variant of the breastplate. Pliny, creator of the world's first reference book and living in the meantime as Josephus, gives us an itemized record of "Topazion," its starting points and its season of disclosure. Pliny, creator of the world's first reference book Natural History, elucidates the inceptions of "Topazion" in this entry: "Philon, the ruler's regent, was the first to bring these stones from this island; that, on his displaying them to Queen Berenice, the mother of the second Ptolemæus, she was brilliantly satisfied with them; and that, at a later period, a statue, four cubits in stature, was made of this stone, out of appreciation for Arsinoë, the spouse of Ptolemæus Philadelphus, it being blessed in the sanctuary known as the "Brilliant Temple." Pliny expresses that the green "Topazion" was initially found under the rule of Queen Berenice. Berenice was the mother of Ptolemy II and spouse of Ptolemy I Soter, the principal Greek pharaoh of Hellenistic Egypt and once a Macedonian general in Alexander the Great's armed force

Pliny's announcement indicates the revelation of "Topazion" corresponding at the time Ptolemy II, furthermore with his solicitation for the Septuagint's interpretation of the Hebrew Bible for the library of Alexandria, the archives which would later turn into the premise of the Christian Old Testament. So with the revelation occurring at the season of the Septuagint's interpretation in 300B.C., we can accept that "Topazion" couldn't have been the "Pitdah" gemstone known not and the Hebrew slaves of the Exodus in 1444 B.C. Inferring that the Septuagint's interpretation and recognizable proof of "Pitdah" was mistaken, and in addition all the resulting renditions identified with it, the inquiry stays with regards to the right distinguishing proof of the green "Topazion" brought once more from Pliny's island.
