It really belongs to the Palestinians, you know! Don’t let them know about it or they’ll go to war over it!
Otherwise - super amazing!!! Love stuff like this.
exciting find and excavation.
I dropped that on the road to Damascus. I want to thank whoever found it!
Even back then you were leaving tips?
A half shekel goes a long way.
2500 Yrs.——
Unbelievable
All 2550 year old coins are rare, aren’t they?
Article says shekel is 11.07 grams
Wikipedia says is 11.42 grams.
So did a shekel get heavier over time?
