While Jews around the world just finished observing the Chanukah festival, the celebrations won’t stop for a group of Israeli archaeologists working in an ancient biblical site in Samaria.

Experts believe the coins belonged to the Hasmoneans, the heroes of the Chanukah festival who battled Greek invaders, leading to a miraculous military victory that Jews celebrate each year.
