Israel - Otoritas Kepurbakalaan Israel mengumumkan penemuan sebuah gading gajah purba. Gading raksasa itu diyakini berusia 500 ribu tahun.

He visited the area out of curiosity after reading about prehistoric elephants. Mor says, To my surprise, I spotted something that looked like a large animal bone peeping out of the ground. When I looked closer, I realised that it was the real thing, so I rushed to report it to the Israel Antiquities Authority
