Tour guide for eighth-grade pupils in Azor comes up with finding, which likely depicts an ancient Egyptian pharaoh bestowing authority on local Canaanite ruler
TOI reports - “We were wandering around when I saw something that looked like a small toy on the ground,” said Gilad Stern of the Israel Antiquity Authority’s Educational Center, who was leading the tour.
“An inner voice told me: ‘Pick it up and turn it over.’ I was astonished. It was a scarab with a clearly incised scene, the dream of every amateur archaeologist. The pupils were really excited,” he added, according to a press release by the Israel Antiquity Authority (IAA).
