Archeology Uncovered

Ku-wait. Arche-ology. Not many think they mix, but they do - sometimes overwhelmingly. I work at the National Museum in the Archeology Department. Here are my ongoings... [email me at ArcheologyUncovered [at] gmail [dot] com ]

Israeli Moola at Museum

So i havn't talked about what i'm doing at the Museum because i'm too busy doing it, you see.

Working as part of a three-person team in Lajnat il Jard. Wizarat il Maliya has asked for what we have as a Museum, becuase they are considered as assets.

And so we're compiling all the official artifact cards (min gabil il ghazu), documenting them, and basically creating a massive database.

Anywhose, boring work details aside, which working, i notice, from the Sha3bi pile, that we have Israeli bank notes and coins.
Too bad it doesn't say who gave them to us as presents.
They were minted in 1958, so it shouldn't have been that much after.
Political sensitivities, anyone?

Bes 3ajeeb.
I'm tempted to 'borrow' them and head to the bank just to see what happens when i give the teller Israeli Shekels.

Omg even better!
Go to Mecca! Pass by currency exchange!

Looooooooool!

Awesome.
