Archeologists at Megiddo unearth valuable jewels!
Archeologists working in northern Israel have discovered a 3000 year old jewelry trove. Tel Aviv University announced this on Monday, stressing that it may be one of the most valuable ever discovered from the Biblical Period.
The clay vessel in which the jewels were found was excavated in 2010. In July the vessel was emptied, and experts were stunned to find what they described as some of the most valuable jewels ever unearthed from the Biblical period. A Tel Aviv University spokesperson said the find was announced only this week because experts had taken months to analyze and date the jewels.
