I'll never forget a poster here telling me how much smarter he was than the shepherds of King David's day. That's funny, someone assuming that his degree in literature or economics makes him smarter than a man who ruled his region.

To be fair, Biden and Trump also rule a region. Leadership != Intelligence.

This was recently found in an excavation in the original, 'City of David' part of Jerusalem, is dated to about 300 AD. I would love to be able to press a button and, in about a minute, see it travel back in time, until it is on the woman's finger. Would love to see who it was, the context, etc. Nice piece of jewelry, looked good on her, I expect.
Edit: The attachment doesn't seem to work. Ford, remind me how to put a photo in the body of the post, I'll add the pic. Is a cool pic.

For photos, if you click it and say Copy Image Link, you'll get something like this
[https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.SISOiYCRWg1wrdvXENc4KgHaE8&pid=Api&P=0&h=220]
But you'll see it without the start and end brackets, which I added so you can read the string.
Change the start and end brackets [......] to carets, like this <.......>, and change the 'a href' to 'img=src' (no quotes for either), and the picture should post.

I forgot to add that you'll need to actually paste it in the post, before you tweak it by adding <...> and img=src. The pasting part's kind of important  ">

It you've already posted it and it's not showing, the carets may already be there. In that case, just change the 'a ref=' to 'img src=' at the front and it should work.

img src= is the correct syntax. I messed up when I said img=src

2300 years old, down at the bottom of the City of David. Can only imagine what it looked like in new condition. Would love to see who was wearing it, the context, etc.

Know way to know who owned it, but I'm sure it wasn't a rural farmer or shepherd. To have a gold ring, WITH a jewel inlay like that, had to mean some serious wealth at the time. Very cool.

You are right, there is a humanness in it. Somebody gave it to her. It meant something to her, and to him. There was the first time she put it on, the last time she took it off. We see history, but they were ordinary people like us, same desires and feelings.
If she knew about your sunken ship, it happened 1000 years earlier, which would have seemed as far removed to her as she does to us. Hard to get my mind around that.

Sounds like the top, right hand side, drawer of MissTulsa's dresser.
