Daily Mail: ‘Mysterious’ handprint found at excavations in Jerusalem

An unusual find was made by archaeologists at excavations in the Old City of Jerusalem. At the place where the moat once passed, they found a “mysterious” handprint. This is reported by The Daily Mail.

The discovery was made on the remains of a structure that existed more than a thousand years ago. Then the Arabs owned Jerusalem. The fortification was built before the First Crusade, scientists say. This ditch in 1099 the Crusaders could not cross for five weeks. The depression is ten meters wide and seven meters deep.

Now scientists are wondering if the handprint is an accident. Or is it a sign that points to something. Research is conducted by specialists from the Israel Antiquities Authority.
