The majority of the coins were forged in Egypt and North Africa

So, they are admitting that the coins are fogeries...

traced to the 10th- and 11th-century Fatimid caliphs

Jeeezzz... don't release this kind of stuff.

Now they're going to have a mile-long line of muzzies at their door claiming ownership.

and have been traced to the 10th- and 11th-century Fatimid caliphs Al-Ḥākim and Al-Ẓāhir.

ISIS has been strangely silent regarding Israel, focusing on Europe hatred instead. Don't be surprised if ISIS demands this gelt.

Slimy Muslim Imams claiming those coins were made by muzzies long before muzzies existed.

(After all, Mu-MAD-HAM can traverse time, and space.

H*ll, it should be the Muhammad boson.

I found Caesarea to be a fascinating Roman City in Israel.

When you visit Herod's palace in Caesarea there is a garbage dump about 10 feet high which visitors are encouraged to take "one" and only one piece of pottery or thing imbedded and sticking out of the dirt.

Very cool place.

A group of divers in Israel has discovered almost 2,000 ancient gold coins

"You didn't find that!" According to an earlier Daily Mail article:

Experts who eventually counted 2,000 pieces, dating back more than 1,000 years, described the discovery as 'priceless.' The coins are now property of the state with no finder's fee for the divers.

Looks like Obama and Israel finally have something in common!

And the world will tell Israel they should give them to the rightful owners.

And now the “state” lays claim to them & the public will never see them ever again, because some egghead will want to study them....
