Ancient Bell Found in Jerusalem Old City Sewer Rings Again
JERUSALEM A tiny golden bell pulled after 2,000 years from an ancient sewer beneath the Old City of Jerusalem was shown Sunday by Israeli archaeologists, who hailed it as a rare find.
The orb half an inch (one centimeter) in diameter has a small loop that appears to have been used to sew it as an ornament onto the clothes of a wealthy resident of the city two millennia ago, archaeologists said.
When Eli Shukron of the Israel Antiquities Authority shook it Sunday, the faint metallic sound was something between a clink and a rattle.
The bell’s owner likely “walked in the street, and somehow the golden bell fell from his garment into the drainage channel,” Shukron said.
The relic was found last week.
Verizon lining up iPhone 4 discount?
Verizon Wireless might be planning to offer a sale on the iPhone 4, according to VZBuzz.
The unofficial Verizon blog yesterday posted a screenshot purported to be of a special sales page offering steep discounts on a host of smartphones that the carrier sells. The picture shows the 16GB iPhone 4 retailing for $150.99, representing a 25 percent discount from its current $199.99 price tag. The deals also include a discounted Motorola Droid X retailing for $99.99, and a free HTC Thunderbolt.
VZBuzz didn’t say how it found the page, but it’s worth noting that the screenshot shows a Verizon site design that doesn’t match its current site.
