US teen finds 3,300-year-old Egyptian scarab amulet on school trip in Israel
Shiloh Attoun, a 17-year-old American student, uncovered an ancient artefact while on a school trip to Tel Gezer National Park in Israel. The find is a Late Bronze Age scarab amulet, dating back roughly 3,300 years, decorated with two cobra motifs linked to Egyptian royal symbolism. After archaeologists examined and dated the piece, the Israel Antiquities Authority took custody of it for conservation. Attoun was recognised with a certificate of appreciation for reporting the object. The discovery sheds light on the reach of Egyptian cultural influence in the region during that era.
