Golan Heights discovery of ancient statuette

The researchers found a statuette of a woman holding a musical instrument that appears to be a drum. (Israel Antiquities Authority). Archaeologists in the Golan Heights, a 500-square-mile plateau claimed by both Israel and Syria, have found the ruins of the area’s oldest known fortified settlement. As Amanda Borschel-Dan reports for the Times of Israel, the structure appears to date to the time of the biblical King David and may have been part of the Kingdom of Geshur.
