On December 1, according to media reports, a Dutch dredging vessel discovered a bronze helmet of an ancient Greek soldier on the seabed of Israel’s Haifa port several years ago, dating back to the 6th or 5th century BC. However, the owner of this helmet is still a mystery. Jacob Schalvette, Head of the Department of Marine Archaeology at the Israeli Heritage Agency, stated: "The helmet is adorned with gold leaf and is one of the most magnificent ancient Greek armor found so far."
Ancient Greek soldier helmet found in Haifa Bay, Israel. The gold foil has been corroded 2600 years ago.
However, why this bronze helmet crashes into the sea and its owner is still a mystery. One view is that the owner of the helmet may be a soldier on a Greek warship who fought against the Persians. The Persians ruled Israel at the time. The helmet was discovered five years ago by a Dutch dredging vessel and handed over to the Israeli Heritage Administration for inspection. The test results showed that the helmet was made of a copper plate and heated and beaten. It was created by skilled craftsmen. This manufacturing process can reduce the weight of the helmet without damaging the impact resistance and effectively protect the soldier's head.
The front plate of the helmet is thicker. The peacock tails are carved and stamped over the nose and forehead. Snake patterns are carved above the eyes. There are two lion designs on the cheeks, one on the left and one on the right. The owner of the helmet may be a mercenary. He boarded a ship that is doing business with residents of the Del-Abkhawang coast.

Archaeologists discovered the pottery that was imported from Corinth while digging in Bel-Abkhawang between 1932 and 1933. In the excavations conducted by the University of Haifa and the Heritage Administration in recent years, archaeologists discovered a large number of Greek vessels at the archaeological site of a carefully planned city.
It is not yet clear how the helmet crashes into the sea floor of Haifa. The most obvious explanation is that the owner of the helmet accidentally dropped it into the sea. Another explanation is that the ship the soldier was riding sank. Archeologists plan to search the sea area where the helmet was found to find wrecks.
