Scientists of Israel have got an important thing related to ancient times, which can solve many riddles of history. Scientists have found a bronze lamp from the David National Park in Jerusalem (Jerusalem), which was lit with oil. Researchers say that the discovery of this lamp is ‘very special’. According to the information, this is the first such type of lamp discovered in itself.
It is believed that this lamp is around 1900 years old. The researchers said that the most important thing about this lamp is that its shape is like a laughing human face. Archaeologists said that the shape of this lamp is like a mask worn in the Roman theater. This lamp is very old and due to being buried under the ground for a long time, only half of it is left.
Used in religious ceremonies
This lamp was filled with oil and used to burn it. A lamp made of jute has also been found from inside the lamp. It is being speculated that this lamp would be hung on the wall. Scientists say that there is a possibility that this lamp will be used in religious ceremonies. It is estimated that people used such lamps in olden times for ‘good fortune’.

Got another part in Hungary?
After its discovery, the Israeli Ministry of Archeology informed an Hungarian archaeologist about this. The Hungarian archaeologist said that possibly a portion of the lamp discovered in Israel may be the second part of the lamp found in the Roman remains discovered by his team in Budapest. However, initial investigation has revealed that there were two such lamps. Archaeologists are currently making a 3D model of this lamp so that it can be sent to Hungary for further investigation.
