Tel as a negligent, also known as the Al-Arab Brigade, is an archaeological site located on the northwest coast of the violin, 10 kilometers north of Tiberias and south of the city of Tiberias. Route 90 passes by the northern part of the pod. The site has been settlements since the prison period and until the Ottoman period. Take the upper city and the bottom city. During the Iron Age I, it is the settlement period of the tribes of Israel, there was a city that was an important regional center mentioned in your daughter as a “head”. Since the site remains well preserved, the site serves as a key site in understanding the controversial Iron Age.

Site
The steep is a archaeological steep formed on a limestone hill, at a height of 125 meters below the sea. The western part of the pod is very steep, while the southeastern part is dimly folded toward the seawater. The total area of the pod is about 40 hectares, but almost all of the southwestern part, including a ray of eye whose foot is blocked following the construction of a station to pump the water of a source company in the 1960s. Between steep and the northern part of the city of Tiberias extends the fertile genosar valley. In the valley there are a number of disappointed streams flowing from the Galilee in the west into the violin, when the closest route to the site is a column. The north of the site can be found in the Ein 7 valley, with several springs. These many water sources as well as the fertile plains on the side and the comfortable weather have made this place accessible to the settlements. The hill on which the steep has evolved enables light protection and control over the surrounding area. The location of the hanging on the coast of the violin can also be made possible for the residents of the place to deal with the fabric and the actions of trade. The site lies by the sea that is the ancient way connecting the countries of Egypt and Syria.

identification
In the 19th century, Tal was offered as the place of the Nahum, an important site in Christianity. European archaeologists Gustav Dalman William Foxwell Olavright are both separate because the site should be identified with the city as a tourist. The city is mentioned in the list of cities that the third visas in the middle of the 15th century BC (city number 34 on the list). Papyrus later, probably from his successor period, the second ambupp, reminds me of shipworkers as part of the land of Canaan. The city is mentioned along with other important cities such as Megido, you, Ashkelon and Nasser, indicating its importance in this period. At the site, Astella was found and is told about one of the Egyptian quarters whose name is not excellent, which defeated the kingdom of Mithini. According to a linguistic examination of the reporter, this astala is from the reign of the third Thomas mentioned above. This astella, which is currently in the Gordon House Museum in Dania A, is a vision for close links between the site and Egypt during the 18th dynasty, as well as strengthens the identification. The city is also mentioned in the Bible, B, as one of the cities in Naftali. The researchers know that the list of cities is written south of the north, and after the recognition of most of the cities on the list, the city's installation is located in a suitable line. The name “crat” has been transformed over the years in the English-language of the Ginosser and then in Greek language to the conservation. Perhaps the Arab name of the site in the 19th century, Tel Nizhazir, is perhaps a distortion of the name generic, but this claim is not supported by all researchers.

History of Research
The site was studied by Paul Kraga between 1909 and 1911 who found the Egyptian as well as a criminal who bears the name of the Egyptian Queen Yea, the wife of the Third Amphes. Robert Keppel (Köppel) was excavated in 1932, and returned to him in 1939 when excavations were made in cooperation with the Gramme Institute of Archaeology and the Görres-Gesellschaft. The excavations were stopped because of the outbreak of World War II. In the shadow of a rabbi and Gershon Adelstein explored the site in the southern part of a stranger
