A three -year -old girl in Israel has gained popularity overnight after detecting an ancient treasure during a family. The child, Ziv Nitzan, along with his family, was visiting the archaeological site of Oil Azecah in Southern Israel, when he found that a scarb talisman belonged to the Canani communities, who dating back for 3,800 years.
“We were walking along the way, and then Ziv used to bend down – and out of all the stones around him, he picked up this special stone,” said Toddler’s sister Omar Nitzan.
“I called my parents to see beautiful stone, and we realized that we had discovered an archaeological discovery.”
The family then reported to find the Authority Authority of Israel’s antiquities (IAA), which gave Little Ziv a certificate of praise for good citizenship.
“Jiv, and his family, is worth appreciating to find the national treasure of the state of Israel. Thanks to him, everyone will be able to see it and enjoy it. In honor of Passah, we will present the seal in a special exhibition installed by the Israeli AntiCuce Authority,” Elie Eskusido, the IAA said.
In particular, oil Azecka has importance of the Bible because it is believed that it is the site of the infamous fight between David and Goliath.
Tel Aviv University Archaeological Dig Director Professor Oded Lipsits, who had also come to meet Ziva and his sisters in oil, said that his team had been digging in the region for almost 15 years.
“The findings of the excavation suggests that during the middle bronze and late bronze era, here in the oil Azecah, Judian performed one of the most important cities in the Terai,” said Mr. Lipschits.
“The Scarb found by Ziva is included in a long list of Egypt and Canaanani, which is discovered here, which describes close relationships and cultural effects between Kanan and Egypt during that period.”

According to the IAA, the scarb remains were most likely in Egypt and then thousands of years ago discovered its way to modern Israel. This beetle, which was considered sacred in the eyes of ancient Egyptians, was a symbol of new life, because the cow dung made it and then put its egg in it, from which the new life would have a hatch.
“Scarb was used as a seal and amulet during this period. They were found in graves, in public buildings and private homes. Sometimes they tolerate symbols and messages, reflecting religious beliefs or status,” Dr. Dafna Ben-Tore said, an expert in ancient amulets and seals.
