"The discovery of an ancient shaman's tomb in Motza opens a door into the spiritual world of communities that lived some 9,000 to 10,000 years ago. It also shows how complex and rich the cultural beliefs of ancient humanity were," said Eli Eskosido, director of the Israel Antiquities Authority. Photo: @Archaeology Magazine. |
