Antique Archaeological Archeology Biblical Canaan Citadel Conquest Fortied Galilee Iron Israel Israelites Jewish Joshua Places Ruin Hazor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the ruins of Hazor, an ancient city located in the beautiful Galilee region of Israel. Hazor is a significant biblical site, mentioned numerous times in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The city holds historical importance as it was once the capital of the Canaanites, a powerful civilization that ruled the Land of Israel before the arrival of the Israelites under the leadership of Joshua. The ruins of Hazor date back to various periods, with the oldest layers dating back to the Chalcolithic and Bronze Ages. The most notable remains are from the Middle Bronze Age, around 1500 BCE, when the city was fortified and expanded, making it one of the largest cities in the ancient Near East. The ruins include the impressive citadel, which offers a glimpse into the city's rich history and the advanced architectural and engineering techniques of the time. The Iron Age remains, which date back to around 1200 BCE, are also of great interest to archaeologists as they provide evidence of the Israelites' conquest of the city. The scene outside the ruins showcases the breathtaking landscape of Galilee, with its rolling hills and verdant greenery, offering a stark contrast to the ancient ruins and reminding us of the passage of time and the enduring history of this remarkable place.
