(FOX NEWS) – A lucky individual in Sweden discovered a cauldron
filled with medieval rings, pendants and thousands coins that were
all remarkably well-preserved.
In a translated statement from the County Administrative Board
of Stockholm in mid-September, officials said the discovery was
made in Stockholm County, home to 26 municipalities.
Authorities described the finder as a "private individual" who
was digging for worms to use as fishing bait at the time.

The Cuban Missile Crisis began on October 14, 1962, bringing
the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear
conflict.
Photographs taken by a high-altitude U-2 spy plane offered incontrovertible evidence that Soviet-made medium-range
missiles in Cuba—capable of carrying nuclear warheads—
were now stationed 90 miles off the American coastline.
(FOX NEWS) – Archaeologists have discovered an ancient dam
in Jerusalem’s City of David, not far from the body of water
where Jesus Christ healed a blind man.
Officials noted in an Aug. 30 release that the wall was recently
found during excavations near the Pool of Siloam within the
Jerusalem Walls National Park.
The Pool of Siloam, rediscovered in 2004, existed as a basin
fed by the Gihon Spring. The Gospel of John recounts the
testimony of a blind man who was healed by Jesus at the
pool.
John 9:10–11 states, "’How then were your eyes opened?’ they
asked. He replied, ‘The man they call Jesus made some mud
and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So
I went and washed, and then I could see.’
The newly discovered dam dates to the ninth century B.C.,
nearly 2,800 years ago. It could have been built under the reign
of either King Joash or King Amaziah, according to officials.
Sir Alexander Fleming was a young bacteriologist when an
accidental discovery led to one of the great developments
of modern medicine on September 3, 1928.
Having left a plate of staphylococcus bacteria uncovered,
Fleming noticed that a mold that had fallen on the culture
had killed many of the bacteria.
He identified the mold as penicillium notatum, similar to
the kind found on bread.
In 1929, Fleming introduced his mold by-product called
penicillin to cure bacterial infections.
A researcher may have uncovered the oldest written references
to Moses, dating back 3,800 years and hidden in an Egyptian
desert.
The two etchings were found at Serabit el-Khadim, an ancient
turquoise mining site in the Sinai Desert where Semitic laborers
once worked during the Middle Bronze Age.
The Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions date back between 1800 and 1600
B.C.
They were etched centuries before the earliest parts of the Bible
were written between the 10th and 7th centuries B.C.
The two inscriptions, among many at the site, were first discovered
in the early 1900s, but they’re now being reanalyzed by an American-Israeli epigraphist named Michael S. Bar-Ron.
The expert, who’s also a graduate student at Ariel University, spoke
with Fox News Digital about the discovery.
