Egyptian Statue Unearthed in Northern Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Daniel K. Eisenbud - On Monday, during a dig in Tel-Hazor, a UNESCO Heritage Site north of the Sea of Galilee, an American volunteer uncovered a large limestone fragment of an Egyptian statue depicting an ancient official's foot on a square base containing a few lines in hieroglyphic script. Bryan Kovach, 42, who unearthed the fragment, has volunteered periodically at the excavation site since 1997. "This was really strange and exciting... when I rolled it over and realized that it was an Egyptian statue," he said.
