HISTORIC FIND MADE BY ARCHAEOLGISTS

Roman mass grave split

(AP) – Archaeologists recently made a colossal discovery: They
found an ancient Roman mass grave, dating back to the first-
century A.D., underneath a soccer field in Vienna.

The necropolis was found by construction crews working in the
Vienna neighborhood
of Simmering last October. The discovery
was unknown to the world until the Vienna Museum announced
it on Apr. 2.

The 129 bodies, which were likely a mix of Roman soldiers and
Germanic tribesmen, were found in total.
Dislocated bones were
also found at the site, meaning that as many as 150 victims’
remains were found.

Split image of girl holding scarab and Caananite artifact

(FOX NEWS) – The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) reported on
Monday that 3-year-old Ziv Nitzan came across a 3,800-year-old Canaanite amulet back in March.

The Canaanites were the original inhabitants of the Levant and
were descended from Noah’s grandson Canaan, according to
the Old Testament.

Omer Nitzan, Ziv’s sister, said her family was walking along
Tel Azeka, a hill in the Judaean Foothills, when the 3-year-old
spotted the artifact.
 

The area is the location of the ancient town of Azekah, which
is referenced in 1 Samuel 17:1 during a biblical battle between
David and Goliath.

3-year-old Ziv Nitzan and family
