An American student visiting ancient Israel finds a scarab amulet estimated to be about 3,300 years old, according to reports. The discovery happens during a school trip to the Tel Gezer National Park area.

One outlet identifies the finder as a 17-year-old high school student visiting the site, describing the amulet as an Egyptian scarab. Another outlet similarly reports the find and adds archaeological context, saying Professor Ido Koch of Tel Aviv University examines the object and dates the seal to the Late Bronze Age. Across the coverage, both emphasize the age of the artifact and the setting of the discovery, while differing slightly on the level of expert and institutional detail included.
