Another Thinker Discovered In Israel

The Daily Mail reports on a new ancient discovery in Israel.

An unusual 3,800-year-old pottery jug, bearing a statuette of a person who appears deep in thought, has been discovered in Israel.

The ancient piece of crockery was found by a team of archaeologists and students during an excavation in Yehud, a Tel Aviv suburb.

It bears a striking resemblance to The Thinker, Auguste Rodin’s famous sculpture.

The jug, which features a figure sat with knees bent and head rested on hand dates back to the the Middle Bronze Age, according to the Israel Antiquities Authority.

‘It seems that at first the jug, which is typical of the period, was prepared and afterwards the unique sculpture was added, the likes of which have never before been discovered in previous research,’ said Gilad Itach, who directed the excavation.

Counting down the hours until the PA claims this is further proof of their longstanding presence in the land, the statue being a representation of their own leader, the immortal Mahmoud Abbas.
