This story is a little dated, but
still newsworthy! While sifting for the Temple
Mount Sifting Project, a 9-year-old discovered a unique golden bead. It was hand made with four layers of gold
balls made into a cylinder looking bead.
Binyamin
Milt found the golden object while screening through earth and debris from
the Temple Mount, which was removed from that location over twenty years ago
and then dumped in the Kedron valley nearby.
For the past sixteen years, volunteers have been sifting through the
earth and the remains removed from the mount.
Although thought to be a more modern object that was simply found during
the sifting process, it is now considered much older. Upon closer examination, consideration, and comparison
with other finds has led Professor Gabriel Barkay to argue that the bead is
from the First Temple Period dating back 3000 years.
