Mysterious Magnetic Anomaly Found in Mesopotamian Bricks

TL;DR Summary
Scientists studying Mesopotamian bricks have discovered traces of a magnetic anomaly from the Levantine Iron Age, shedding light on the strength of Earth's magnetic field 3,000 years ago. By subjecting the bricks to extreme heat and comparing the original magnetic field with a recreated one, researchers were able to date the bricks and develop a new technique for dating ancient artifacts. This innovative method may revolutionize the field of archeology and provide insights into the periodic peaks of Earth's magnetic field throughout history.
