Ancient Ebony Pendants With a Wild Backstory

Archaeologists just found 1,500-year-old Christian graves in Israel with super rare African ebony and bone figurines! These pendants, carved with detailed African features, might have been worn by people whose ancestors traveled from Africa to the Negev desert. The ebony came all the way from India or Sri Lanka—talk about ancient global trade! The finds hint at a diverse Christian community and some serious family ties, with a possible mother and child buried side by side. History just got way more interesting! #Archaeology #AncientHistory #Israel #AfricanDiaspora #Byzantine #Science
