Fox News
A young preschool-aged boy accidentally shattered a nearly 3,500-year-old jar predating the Bronze Age, while visiting a museum in Israel last Friday.
"In this case, however, this was not the situation," Laszlo said. "The jar was accidentally damaged by a young child visiting the museum, and the response will be accordingly." Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
The jar dated to the Bronze Age, between 2200 and 1500 B.C. — predating the time of Kings David and Solomon — and it was totally intact, making it a rare find and valuable artifact. Experts have speculated that the jar likely carried local supplies, such as wine and olive oil.
