Archaeological Discoveries Continue in Israel Despite Regional Conflicts

(Worthy Insights) – Despite ongoing regional tensions in 2024, Israeli archaeologists have continued their vital work, unearthing remarkable artifacts that span millennia of human history. While the pace of excavations has slowed—with approximately 120 sites explored compared to the typical 250-300—the findings have been no less extraordinary.

“Despite the difficult year we experienced due to the war, the Israel Antiquities Authority continued to carry out rescue excavations throughout the country,” notes IAA director-general Eli Escusido, highlighting the organization’s commitment to preserving historical heritage even in challenging times.

Among the year’s most significant discoveries is an ancient stone road in northern Jerusalem’s Mount Hotzvim, dating to the Second Temple period. This pathway may have historic religious significance, potentially connecting to the previously discovered “Pilgrim’s Road.” [ Source: Israel365 (Read More…) ]
