If you dig deep enough in just the right places, you’re bound to find something of value.

The Israel Antiquities Authority recently uncovered the remains of a bronze-age “New York City.”  En Esur, in northern Israel, had 6,000 residents in its heyday, approximately 5,000 years ago.

Archaeologists have discovered this city's “intricate plan,” which included food-storage silos and water-storage basins. En Esur’s streets were paved with “plaster and stones.”
