Researchers say they have deciphered a 3,000-year-old formulaic curse inscription recovered on a small, folded lead amulet found on Mount Ebal, making it the oldest proto-Hebrew text ever found in Israel. It seems, however, that the association of cursing with Ebal and blessing with Gerizim was likely related to the geogrpahy of the mountains Mount Gerizim is green and flowering whereas Mount Ebal is barren.
Despite her mishaps, she is determined to prove herself and become the best witch she can be. In 1987, a feature-length film based on the TV series was released. The film, also titled The Worst Witch, further expanded on Mildred's misadventures and introduced new characters and storylines.
