A Rare 2,800-Year-Old Scarab Amulet Found in Israel

Antiquities Authority says recent winter rains helped expose buried antiquities, urges public to be aware and to turn over finds.

A rare scarab amulet from the First Temple period was recently discovered by a hiker in the Nahal Tabor Nature Reserve in the Lower Galilee and turned over to the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).

The scarab, made from reddish-brown carnelian stone, is estimated to be 2,800 years old and of Assyrian or Babylonian origin. The front is carved in the shape of a beetle, and the back has engravings that depict a griffon or a winged horse, a common motif of the Ancient Near East.

When he discovered the artifact, Erez Avrahamov, 45, was on a two-day leave from IDF reserve duty, taking advantage of a sunny day after recent rains.

“I saw something shimmering on the ground. At first, I thought it was a bead or an orange stone. After I picked it up, I realized it had engravings resembling a beetle. I called and reported the amazing find to the Antiquities Authority,” Avrahamov said, according to a Wednesday IAA press release.

Abrahamov found the scarab near the bottom of Tel Rekhesh, associated with the city of Anaharath mentioned in the Book of Joshua.

During the 6th-7th centuries BCE, “a large citadel stood at the top of the mount, where bathing facilities, halls and ritual chambers were found from the period of Assyrian rule. This rule, as we know, was responsible for the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel” in the First Temple period, IAA archaeologist Dr. Yitzhak Paz explained.

The scarab is likely from this period of Assyrian control and “may indicate the presence of Assyrian (or perhaps Babylonian) officials at Tel Rekhesh during this period,” Paz added. If the scarab can be conclusively dated and this connection proven, it will be a discovery of “great significance,” he said.

Scarab seals of a similar type, fashioned into a dung-beetle shape from a wide variety of stones, originated from Pharaonic Egyptian culture but were widely used throughout the ancient world.

The orange color and material of the scarab found by Abrahamov are fairly rare, the IAA said, as most were made from a softer bluish stone and then covered in glaze, which in almost all cases has worn away with time.

The IAA said it’s likely that the recent rains uncovered the scarab. “As in every winter, when the rainy season arrives, antiquities start to ‘float’ and rise to the surface,” IAA Director Eli Escusido said.

“I am imploring the public to obey the Antiquities Law, and request that if you come across an archaeological find, report it to the Antiquities Authority while in the field. The exact location where an object is found is extremely important… The special scarab will be stored in the state archive, where we can research and learn more about it,” he said.

Under Israeli law, any found man-made object dating from before 1700 is to be turned over to the authorities. Abrahamov received a good citizenship certificate for doing so.

Discovering Carnelian: A Gem of Warmth and Passion

In the cozy glow of a warm, sunlit room, a cup of steaming coffee sits beside an old journal, where hot steam mingles with golden sunbeams. The autumn air rustles through open windows, carrying the sound of distant, dry leaves. In this world of Carnelian, there is an abundance of warmth and love, infusing life with boundless passion and joy.

The Radiant Charm of Carnelian

Carnelian, a glassy, translucent gemstone, belongs to the Chalcedony family and is celebrated for its vibrant orange and red-orange hues. It shines like the sun, bringing a touch of radiance to the lives it graces. Notably, Carnelian is the birthstone for those born in August and September.

Unearthing the Ancient Origins of Carnelian

Carnelian, sometimes called 'cornelian,' derives its name from the color of the cornel cherry. With a history that spans 4,000 years, it's one of the oldest known gemstones. In ancient times, it adorned the noble and elite, favored by emperors and affluent merchants as accessories.

This gemstone has left its mark throughout the ages, from the realms of Greek and Roman civilizations to the grandeur of Babylon. People cherished Carnelian, wearing it as amulets and crafting insignia rings and seals.

It holds a special place in Christianity, believed to be one of the twelve gemstones adorning the breastplate of Aaron, the first high priest of the Israelites and a prophet.

Carnelian, a red quartz mineral, can be found in India, Russia, Brazil, and Germany. Its striking color ranges from pale orange to intense brownish-red, achieved through the accumulation of iron particles within a colorless quartz crystal. The gem's color can be further enhanced through heat treatment.

Elegance and Durability of Carnelian

Carnelian, with its cryptocrystalline-microcrystalline silicon dioxide composition, boasts a hardness rating of 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale. Although mostly transparent or opaque, it exhibits a mesmerizing cloudiness when held against the light. Bathed in sunlight, its waxy luster elevates it to an almost heavenly radiance.

It is often crafted into various shapes, with round, oval, cushion-shaped, and heart-shaped cuts being the most popular. Carnelian shares similarities with Sard, though the latter is harder and darker. Both are part of the silica mineral Chalcedony family.

The impeccable exquisiteness of Carnelian makes it a sought-after choice for ornamental and decorative purposes. It finds a special place in the realm of jewelry, adorning pendants, bracelets, necklaces, and everyday gemstone rings, appealing to both men and women. For men, Carnelian serves as a magnificent gemstone for Cabochon ring designs and holds particular significance among Christians for crafting religious rings. Additionally, it lends its beauty to sculptures, decorative pieces, and cameos.

The Enigmatic Powers of Carnelian

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Carnelian possesses remarkable powers. It is regarded as a good luck charm and a facilitator of improved communication skills. This gemstone is a catalyst for personal growth and healing, stimulating metabolism and enhancing blood circulation. Carnelian's detoxifying properties are particularly helpful in addressing substance addiction. Furthermore, it is known to increase fertility in both sexes and combat impotence.

In the realm of inner healing, Carnelian excels by restoring motivation, self-confidence, and trust. It is a crystal of action, banishing procrastination and encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with courage, no matter the obstacles they encounter.

Different shades of Carnelian carry unique significance. Orange Carnelian symbolizes physical pleasure and intimacy, spreading joy and happiness among friends and family. It is also used in meditation for its ability to induce relaxation.

Red Carnelian, with its fiery hue, ignites self-confidence and rekindles lost passion for life. Scarlet Carnelian is a key to strengthening relationships with family and friends, helping individuals overcome deep-seated fears and fostering self-reliance.

Carnelian: Your Guide through Life's Ups and Downs

In times when the warm sun rays of good days dim in the face of adversity, when fears and challenges loom, and when the path to your goals seems uncertain, Carnelian emerges as a trusted advisor. With its remarkable powers and healing nature, it becomes the loyal friend everyone desires.

Embrace the beauty, warmth, and joy of life with the enchanting Carnelian gemstone, a treasure of love and happiness in its purest form.

Nile Catfish Pendant

Egyptian, ca. 1985-1773 BCE (Middle Kingdom, 12th dynasty)

This fish pendant represents a Synodontis Batensoda, more commonly known as the Nile catfish, a species of fish named for its black belly. Often worn at the end of a plait of hair, amulets like this one were used by children and young women to protect against drowning. This fine amulet is made of gold with stone inlays, including a red stone for the right eye and a green stone for the left. Amulets in the form of the Synodontis Batensoda were particularly popular during the Middle Kingdom, when the fish might have been identified with an astronomical constellation.
