Her mother thought it was just a stone, but Dafna Filshteiner insisted there was something special about it.
Imagine finding a pebble and discovering it’s actually a 3,500-year-old artifact. That’s exactly what happened to a young girl in Israel, who suspected her find was special even before she and her mother sought expert advice.
“I showed it to my mother, and she said it was just an ordinary stone or a bead. But then I saw a decoration and stubbornly insisted it was more than that, so we searched on the Internet,” Filshteiner explained in the statement. “There, we identified more photos of stones similar to what we had found. We realized that it was something special and immediately called the Antiquities Authority.
The Israel Antiquities Authority awarded Filshteiner and her family a certificate of excellence for good citizenship—probably for handing over the artifact instead of pocketing it—and delivered the scarab to the state archives. The public will be able to see the scarab on display at the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel.
