(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.

the discovery.

KUBRICK FILM HAS WORLD PREMIERE


Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey had its
world theatrical premiere on April 2, 1968.

Stanley Kubrick Called This Crime Horror Movie the Most Terrifying Movie  He'd Ever Seen

Kubrick, whose 1964 Cold War satire Dr. Strangelove had been
popular with audiences and critics alike, was intrigued by
science fiction but felt the genre rarely produced interesting
films.

He became determined to make one, using the sci-fi story The
Sentinel
as source material and enlisting its author, Arthur C.
Clarke, as his co-writer.

The film does feature a coherent plot, involving two scientists
and a highly-intelligent computer sent to investigate a mysterious
event near Jupiter, but several scenes—including the film’s now-legendary opening, which seems to depict hominids learning to
use tools after the appearance of a mysterious monolith—are
surreal and highly open to interpretation.

Filming required the construction of a giant centrifuge to serve
as the spaceship’s interior and numerous expensive visual
effects, including a groundbreaking psychedelic sequence near
the end of the film so complex that staff referred to it as the
“Manhattan Project.” Kubrick is said to have removed over 15
minutes from the final cut, which nonetheless ran well over
2 hours.

ANCIENT GLADIATOR TOMB DISCOVERED

Roman tombs discovered by Italian archaeologists.

(FOX NEWS) – Italian archaeologists recently unearthed ancient
Roman tombs during the excavation of a necropolis – including
one bearing the epitaph of a gladiator.

The discovery was announced by the Archaeology, Fine Arts
and Landscape (ABAP) Superintendence for the Metropolitan
Area of Naples on March 21.

In a statement translated from Italian to English, officials said
that the dig took place in Liternum, an ancient town near the
city of Giugliano in Campania.

The excavation site was used as a necropolis from roughly the
first century B.C. to the third century A.D.
