A three-year-old Israeli girl found a 3,800-year-old scarab amulet while walking with her parents at a site that archaeologists had been exploring for 15 years. According to archaeologists, it was made by the inhabitants of Canaan, a country that existed on the territory of Israel during the Bronze Age. The Canaanites could have learnt how to make amulets with a scarab as a symbol of life from the Egyptians, with whom they had strong trade and cultural ties.
