Israeli Archaeologists Thrilled by 'Deeply Moving Find' in Ancient City of David

From the mix of heritage, history and holiness that lies below the surface of Jerusalem, archeologists have found a small gold ring that dates back about 2,300 years to the era when Greek civilization spread across the Holy Land.

“It is an unusual and deeply moving find; not one that we discover every day,” the archaeological team said, according to the Jerusalem Post.

The gold ring was set with a garnet and was well-preserved when it was found.

Tehiya Gangate, who worked on the City of David excavation, found the ring.

“I immediately yelled, ‘I found a ring, I found a ring!’” she said.

“Within seconds, everyone gathered around me, and there was great excitement. This is an emotionally moving find. I always wanted to find gold jewelry, and I am very happy this dream came true — literally a week before I went on maternity leave.”

The Post noted that gold jewelry was not uncommon in the Hellenistic period, after the conquests of Alexander the Great, who died in 323 B.C.

Prof. Yuval Gadot of Tel Aviv University said the find and others are changing the way historical Jerusalem is perceived, according to the Times of Israel.

“The character of the buildings and now, of course, the gold finds and other discoveries display the city’s healthy economy and even its elite status,” Gadot said.

“It certainly seems that the city’s residents were open to the widespread Hellenistic style and influences prevalent also in the eastern Mediterranean Basin.”

“The ring is very small. It would fit a woman’s pinky, or a young girl or boy’s finger,” Israel Antiquities Authority Excavation Directors Yiftah Shalev and Riki Zalut Har-tov said, according to an Israeli Antiquities Authority post on Instagram.

The post quoted expert Dr. Marion Zindel as saying the ring was made by “hammering thin pre-cut gold leaves onto a metal ring base.”

“Stylistically it reflects the common fashion of the Persian and Early Hellenistic periods, dating from the late 4th to early 3rd century BCE and onwards. In that period people began to prefer gold with set stones rather than decorated gold,” the post said.

“The recently found gold ring joins other ornaments of the early Hellenistic period found in the City of David excavations, including the horned-animal earring and the decorated gold bead,” Gadot and excavator Efrat Bocher said, according to Haaretz.

The ring will be on public display in June, the Times reported.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

Thank you for reading,

Josh Manning
