Mysterious pyramid, ancient bronze coins discovered by archaeologists

Archaeologists in the Judean Desert have unearthed a mysterious pyramidshaped structure dating back 2, 200 years. The evacuation was a joint mission between the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) and the Ministry of Heritage excavation. The structure is tied to when the Ptolemies and Seleucids ruled Israel, according to a joint press release. What we have here is one of the richest and most intriguing archaeological excavations ever found in the Judean Desert, said IAA excavation directors Matan Toledano, Dr. Eitan Klein and Amir Ganor. The structure is made of handhewn stones with each stone weighing hundreds of pounds. We still do not know for certain what the buildings purpose was, said the evacuation directors. The structure is believed to have been a guard tower, a grave marker or even possibly an ancient monument. It is an enthralling historical mystery, the directors said in the release. Bronze coins related to Ptolemies and of Antiochus IV, weapons, wooden tools and fabrics were found
