In 1986, drought exposed ancient wood in Galilee mud, and two brothers found a 2,000-year-old boat
A severe drought in 1986 lowered the Sea of Galilee's water levels, exposing ancient mud and timbers. Two brothers, Moshe and Yuval Lufan, recognized the significance of these findings, leading to the discovery of a remarkably preserved first-century boat. This artifact, now known as the Sea of Galilee Boat, highlights how fluctuating lake levels can reveal hidden historical treasures.
