Very little of the inscription remains, but the excitement it has generated is concentrated on the letters 'bytdwd' which many see as referring to the "House of David." If the reading is correct, it is the first time that the name "David" has been found in any archaeological site.

 Hypotyposeis: Tel Dan Inscription Follow-Up
Tel Dan Inscription Follow-Up I've been able to glean a little more information as to the provenance of the fragments that presently make up the Tel Dan Inscription.

 Ralph the Sacred River: The Tel Dan Inscription
I've stayed out of the discussion about the Tel Dan inscription, but since Stephen Carlson is showing signs of hospitality to the idea that it is a forgery, I'll put in my two cents.
So, to return to the Dan inscription, I agree with you that it is extremely unlikely that it was forged and buried in the ruins of ancient Dan, while recognizing that arguments can be found even for basically untenable positions.
The Tel Dan inscription is important because, as Cryer, Lemche, and Gmirkin have convincingly shown, there are questions about it that need to be answered before we can be satisfied that it is authentic.
