On the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, a nine-year-old boy found a gold bead from the time of King Nebuchadnezzar. Its age, according to preliminary data, is estimated at three thousand years. The Jerusalem Post reported.
The piece of jewelry he found consists of several golden balls, collected in the shape of a flower. The bead is well preserved, so the archaeologist who was shown the find first considered it modern.
However, after conducting research, he realized that the element belongs to the era of the First Temple, that is, its age is estimated at three thousand years. It is noted that at this time, pure gold was quite rare, since most of the gold things included significant admixtures of silver.
King Nebuchadnezzar II ruled Babylonia around 634-562 BC. He was known as a successful conqueror and politician. In addition, he built a complex for his wife Semiramis, now known as the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
