Girl finds 3,500-year-old Egyptian scarab amulet in Hod Hasharon

[Claira]

An ancient Egyptian scarab amulet dating back around 3,500 years was found near an archaeological site in Hod Hasharon by 12-year-old Dafna Filshteiner during a family trip, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced on Thursday morning.

While hiking near Tel Qana, Filshteiner was looking for porcupine needles and smooth pebbles when she found an unusual object, which she had initially assumed was a stone. “I showed it to my mother, and she said it was just an ordinary stone or a bead. But then I saw a decoration and stubbornly insisted it was more than that,” Filshteiner recalled.
