Sir Herbert Samuel, a prominent figure of his time and later known as Viscount Samuel, stands tall with determination etched on his face. Dressed in formal attire befitting the occasion, he holds a shovel firmly in hand ready to embark on an arduous journey of unearthing ancient treasures. The significance of this moment cannot be overstated; it marks the beginning of extensive archaeological excavations that would uncover remnants of civilizations long past. Ascalon itself is steeped in history and mythology, making these excavations all the more intriguing.
