Stumbling upon archaeological digs in Israel is a wonderfully common experience. Many times I have been walking down a street on some random errand, or trying to find a parking spot in Tel Aviv and have almost overlooked the temporary billboard announcing that I am within yards of some treasure being unearthed for the first time in perhaps millennia. It’s a thrilling and humbling experience, putting your little life into proper perspective according to History (with a capital ‘H’.)
