#12YearOld Discovers #Ancient #Egyptian #Amulet In #Israel

https://www.sunnyskyz.com/good-news/5622/12-Year-Old-Discovers-Ancient-Egyptian-Amulet-In-Israel

On a routine outing near the #NahalKana #antiquities site in #HodHasharon, 12-year-old Dafna Filsteiner stumbled upon an extraordinary piece of #history—a 3,500-year-old Egyptian #scarab amulet.

The Broader Push to Rewrite #History.

Israel's assault on #Palestinian #heritage goes beyond fabricated #archaeological narratives—it’s a #systematic effort to erase history and consolidate control. Here are more key aspects of the campaign:

#Looting of #WestBank #Antiquities :

For decades, #Israel has #exploited the occupied territories' rich archaeological sites, #smuggling thousands of #artifacts to build its #colonial narrative. The new bill seeks to #institutionalize this #theft, granting #extremist officials unchecked authority over excavation and #HeritagePreservation in Palestinian areas.

The Role of the Israeli Antiquities Authority:

Under the guise of #AcademicResearch, the #IsraeliAntiquitiesAuthority frequently removes artifacts from the West Bank, exhibiting them in Israeli #museums without acknowledging their Palestinian origins. This process not only strips Palestinians of their #cultural history but also bolsters Israel’s claim to the land.

Settler-Led Excavations:

Settler organizations like #Elad are at the forefront of #illegal excavations, particularly in East #Jerusalem. These digs disrupt Palestinian neighborhoods, displace families, and create #tourist sites glorifying biblical narratives while erasing the #multicultural history of the region.

Linking Settlements to #BiblicalClaims:

Israeli settlement expansion is increasingly tied to archaeological claims. By declaring areas with supposed biblical significance, such as #Hebron or #Shiloh as part of #Jewish heritage, the #llegalOccupation justifies #annexation and denies Palestinians access to their land.

The International Fallout:

Despite warnings from Israeli #archaeologists and global institutions, the government continues its #unilateral moves. If the bill passes, Israel risks severe isolation, as #CulturalTheft violates international conventions, including #UNESCO protection of #CulturalHeritage during conflicts.

These moves are not just an assault on history—they are an extension of the colonial project, reshaping the narrative to legitimize an occupation that erases Palestinian identity. The stakes go beyond antiquities; they encompass the right of a people to their past, present, and future.

Today's MUST READ Open Access article: "Human–Object Hybrid in Our Lives and Crime". Diana Berzina explores how a metal detectorist searching illegally for antiquities is made up of two components: the person and the tool. The crime can't happen until a hybrid is formed. https://www-tandfonline-com.mu.idm.oclc.org/doi/full/10.1080/01639625.2024.2376862 #archaeology #criminology #artcrime #antiquities

Launched in early June, this digital museum tracks repatriated artifacts to better understand the black market of the antiquities trade, which the museum team estimates to be worth $2.5 billion, calculated from values listed in court documents, auction records, and other such sources.

Germany returns looted antiquities to Italy as Berlin’s Altes Museum hands over 25 items believed to have been illegally excavated. In gratitude, Italy is loaning artefacts including painted panels from Lucanian graves and bronze armour.
