The best part:

The Hecht Museum in Haifa told the BBC the crockery dated back to the Bronze Age between 2200 and 1500BC - and was a rare artefact because it was so intact.

The boy's father Alex said they will feel "relieved" to see the jar restored but added they are "sorry" because "it will no longer be the same item".

Man. Shit happens!
