"The crowd"

It was an ancient Israeli- Phoenician city in the river of the tribe, north of the prestige/a-Nakor. The archeological site of the city is now known as the Arab Um al-Ahamad or UN Al-Abud (Arab: ام العمد, literally "if the pages") on the name of the remains of the pages. The ancient name was preserved near the site in the name of a stream called Arabic and Eddie Khamole, called the village of Khamole and a scubator named her short-lived sword.

The Khamenei settlement is on a low hill on a rocky plane passing on the sea, on a territory of more than 18 the Qatar on the ground that is abundant near Wadi Khamole. Many art artifacts from the site are held and displayed at the Beirut National Museum and the Louvre Museum. The site contains two temples, a temple of the king of Nazareth and the eastern temple with the throne room. 23 tombstones depicting erect people in a “recognition position” are all described between 100 and 400 BC. It was discovered by the Europeans in the 1970s and was excavated in 1861. The site occupies an important place in the study of Phoenicia; for example, the structure of the temples in the excavation was compared to the terminology that appears in pirate tablets, or to the structure of the Phoenician holy sites in Malta (which is also known by God as “revolutionary”).

In 1881, the Foundation for the Study of the Land of Israel described the site as “large remnants,” and called “the remnants of water.”

History of History

Pre-History

On the site, two of the bullet blades were discovered specially gifted from the early Neolithic period, indicating the processing of fields in the area at the time.

The Biblical Period

In the description of the tribal streams in the book Joshua is mentioned in the stream of a tribe which is the city of Khamenei: the identification with the site of the Um al-Abud sits with the order of the geographical towns and the name of the Arab place is "circulated" in the region. The city remained in the hands of the tribe, and it is not mentioned between the Canaanite cities that the tribe did not leave. Ancient legends tell about the founder of Asoros (the form of the name “which”), and indeed in the address of the entire city is identified to the goddess called Asir; one of the main gods of Carthage was a horny man, whose origin is probably from the city of Hammon and his name is called. The dialect of the complicated myth is heard in the addresses of the city, and is the subject of a Canaanite character.

The archaeological excavations on the site did not penetrate the later Hellenistic and Persian layers to the earliest layers, but were nevertheless found on the site of imported pottery vessels from Cyprus from the Iron Age, described by comparative sources to the 8th century BC.

The Persian period.
Some of the earliest scattered remnants of the site are dated to the Persian period, including the foundations of the King-Shaler Temple.

The Hellenistic Period

The archaeological importance of the site is during the Hellenistic period. From this period, many architectural remains were found, as well as Phoenician and Vionic addresses. Most of the period of activity of the Temples was during the Hellenistic period.

The King's Temple
At the southwestern end of the site is a temple, surrounded by a series of buildings that separated it from the rest of the site; such a typical pattern for the temples of heaven. The inner division of the central hall is also not suitable for a Greek-style temple. Among the surrounding buildings is a large Himpostil Hall north, residential and warehouses south and a series in the east. The entrance to the complex was through a gate in the southeast. The entire complex covered an area of 56 meters (north-south) on 61 meters (East-west). A lion statue or spins from the near vicinity indicates that such a pair is on the side of the eastern staircase.

The Eastern Temple

The eastern temple is 160 meters west of the temple of the king of Nazareth, and as it includes a series of buildings and arrangements, built around the yard of a melody that is 22 meters (north-south) on 35 meters (east-west). The entire complex of buildings all span the residential area of the size of 35 meters (north-south) on 60 meters (east-west).
