The thief repented and decided to clear his conscience on the eve of the supposed Apocalypse.
15 years ago from Israel national Park “City of David” disappeared stone core for the ballista — it was used in battles between the residents of Jerusalem and the Roman legions around 2000 years ago.
The robber did not disclose themselves and asked a man named Moshe Manis to act as a mediator. He brought a nucleus the size of a bowling ball back into the national Park.
According to Manisa, his friend stole the artifact, when I was very young. Since then, he married and had children, but the stolen core “pressed on his heart.”
“During the harvest he has once again stumbled upon this gem and realized that it was time to clear my conscience. Due to the spread of the coronavirus he felt that doomsday is not far off” — quoted Moses, the press service of the Park.
Archaeologists are very happy that the core went back to them. “This treasure, which tells the story of those who lived here before us,” say the Israeli antiquities authority.
