2300 year old find consisting of real treasures rooting from Alexander the Great era have been unearthed by Hen Zakai and his group, the Israeli Caving Club. The 2300 year old find shortly follows a month after the sighting of the biggest gold coins in Israel.
While navigating the underground one day, Hen Zakai, his father, Reuven Zakai and a friend named Lior Zhalony, discovered a glimmering thing embedded on the ground in one of the stalactites caves in Northern Israel.
It was a shock for them when later they learned that they unearthed a 2300 year old find that gives priceless insight into ancient Israel.
The 2300 year old find that Zakai uncovered includes valuable extraordinary coins, bronze and silver objects that root from 2,300 years as reported by the Israel Antiquities Authority.
Digging deeper into the cave, the group has found a pouch that revealed more valuable pieces- silver jewelries, bracelets and earrings, Fox News cited.
After the gold treasure from Caesarea, this is the second time in the past month that citizens have reported significant archaeological finds and we welcome this important trend," Amir Ganor, director of the Unit for the Prevention of Antiquities Robbery said.
The group reported immediately their 2300 year old find to the Israel Antiquities Authority's Unit for the Prevention of Antiquities Robbery.
As reported by Ynet News, the IAA didn't allow publishing of the cave's name in order to prevent probable looting.
They disclosed that the rare 2300 year old find could have been concealed in the cave right after the death of Alexander the Great during the Wars of the Diadochi when battle in Israel is being driven by Alexander's heirs, his successors.
The 2300 year old find is a valuable piece of discoveries during the few years in the northern Israel. The finds are exact evidence that there were real humans who thrive in caves for a long time.
The 2300 year old find by the three cave club members is considered as a great work and contribution to the revelation of the ancient civilization.
According to Amir Ganor, director of the Israel Antiquities Authority, it is the second time in two months that citizens have uncovered such valuable pieces of findings.
The 2300 year old find is great piece of treasure to analyze the stalactite development. It is also considered valuable for the archaeologists who can now determine the artifacts age as they evaluate the date when the stalactite was formed.
