Egypt: The Department of Treasures, burials and antiquities of the Arab world has issued an update regarding the discovery of a gold treasure in an Arabian city wall inside a nature reserve in the late Byzantine rule.

As per the recent update, the discovery of the golden treasure holds around 44 coins of pure gold, which was hidden in a wall of a nature reserve since 7th-century northern Israel, according to archaeologists, according to the Turkey hashtag website.

The archaeological experts and scientists estimate that the treasure, weighing about 170 grams, found at the site of Ain Binyas, was hidden during Muslim control of the area in 635.

“The found coins are said to shed light on the end of Byzantine rule in the region; the Byzantine Empire was the eastern half of the Roman Empire, which lived for over 1000 years, said archaeologists.

Furthermore, “We can imagine that the owner has hidden his wealth in fear of war, hoping to return someday to reclaim his belongings,” Looking back, we realize that he was unlucky,” said Yuav Lerir, the excavations manager.

For his part, Dr Begovsky says recent revelation helps shed light on Emperor Heraclius’ family; he added that the discovery “may shed light on the economy of the city of Panias during the last 40 years of Byzantine rule”.

As per the reports, Israeli authorities said that apart from gold coins, fossils — in my neighbourhood in the Old City — uncovered the remains of buildings, water canals, pipes, bronze coins and more.

Archaeologists have also concluded that some coins belonged to Emperor Focus (602-610), but most of them belonged to his successor Heraclius, Dr Gabriela Begovsky, the coin expert at the Israeli Archaeus. “The town of Panias has a special place in the Christian tradition, being the site where Jesus said to Peter, “On this rock, I will build my church”, said experts.
