GMA Network reported this week that there was a gold earring that is over 2,000 years old that was discovered in Jerusalem.
Evidently, The Israel Antiquities Authority has confirmed the validity of the gold earring, which was found beneath a parking lot. The earring is inlaid with pearls and emeralds, and is estimated to have been created around the time of Christ between 1st century B.C. and 4th century A.D.
The earring was found as ruins were being excavated from an ancient building that dated back to 5th century A.D. in the Byzantine period.
The Israel Antiquities Authority issued a statement calling the earring an “astonishingly well-preserved piece” that was crafted using techniques much like that from the Roman-era in Egypt.
Gold has always held a significant role historically. This latest finding is further confirmation of that fact. At Cash4Gold, we understand that times are tight – trade your cash for gold today! Read a review from one of our customers:
