Child Uncovers This 3,800-Year-Old Artifact

What began as a simple family walk turned into a moment of ancient discovery when 3-year-old Ziv Nitzan picked up a small stone near Tel Azekah in southern Israel. Known for collecting pebbles and treasures on outings, Ziv surprised her parents when she revealed the stone’s unusual markings. After a closer look—and a quick Google search—they realized it wasn’t just a rock, but a 3,800-year-old Egyptian scarab amulet from the Middle Bronze Age.

Experts at the Israel Antiquities Authority confirmed the artifact’s authenticity, calling it a rare find that reflects the cultural ties between ancient Egypt and Canaan. Scarabs, shaped like dung beetles, symbolized new life and were often used as seals or amulets in homes, graves, and public spaces. The amulet will be displayed in a special Passover exhibit this spring, and Ziv received a certificate of appreciation for her remarkable find.

While she may be too young to grasp the significance, her discovery is sparking excitement among archaeologists—and her older sisters.
