Three-year-old Ziv Nitzan made a remarkable find while hiking in Israel, uncovering a 3,800-year-old scarab amulet at Tel Azeka, thought to be the battlefield of David and Goliath. The scarab symbolizes protection and rebirth in ancient Egyptian culture. This site has been an archaeological focus for 15 years. Ziv's family recognized the stone's uniqueness and reported the discovery, earning Ziv a certificate of appreciation from archaeologists, showcasing how even young children can contribute to historical exploration in the Land of Israel.
'We were walking along the path and Ziv bent down and out of the 70,000 stones around her, she picked up one stone... we realized we had discovered an archaeological find.'
'The seal that little Ziv found during a family trip to Tel Azekah connects us to a grand story, that of the ancient civilizations that lived in this land thousands of years ago.'
