ANCIENT PALESTINE TREASURE COMES TO ORIENTAL INSTITUTE
An archaeological treasure in gold and ivory has arrived safely in Chicago, it was announced by Dr. John A. Wilson, director of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. The treasure, from Megiddo (Armageddon) in western Palestine, was discovered during last season’s digging and a brief announcement was made last March, by cable.
The discoveries will have an important place in disclosing new knowledge of historic Palestine during the troubled years from 1500 to 1200 B.C., when the land was a loosely joined group of “city” states under the nominal leadership of Egypt.
