Aשְׁdhad Yam was a port city for the Mediterranean coast, which was established during the Iron Age. Its remains are located on a large archaeological site on the southern coast of modern Ashdod. The city is located about 4 kilometers west of Tel Aviv, the dependency of the mainland (in Greek: Azutos from Soogis,Άζωτος) – one of the five cities of Palestine. Among these two cities, there was a connection between the city of land and its port city, and their history was that it had been captured for centuries.

The first evidence of the place is from the address of the Second Serge, King of Aragon, who created the settlement during the 8th century BC to serve as a trading station and port in the province of the Patriarchs. From that time to the Byzantine period in Israel, it is not known what happened in the sea. In the 4th century, there was a thriving trading city with a port called the Hellenist Azutos Farlyos (in Greek: Άζωτος παράλιος παράλιος παράλιος παράλιος, which means "Continuation on the coast") and was documented in the Midba map. The city continued to exist in the early Arab period, between the 8th century and the 11th century, the period from which the impressive remains of the port of Ashdod were preserved, known as the Al-Mana Arabic (قلعة الميناء الميناء الميناء الميناء שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו الميناء שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו שפירושו

The remains of the city are buried under the southern coast of Ashdod. Beginning in 2013, excavations were continued by researchers and archaeologists from the country and the world.

History of History

Ancient Ashdod, already mentioned in the 17th century BCE as a fortified Canaanite city. In the 12th century BCE, they invaded the southern coastal plain. For Ashdod, which became one of the five most important land cities, was a city of port under its auspices already from the middle of the Late Bronze Age in the Sphere, according to archaeological excavations carried out in Tel Moore. In other words, you have not yet invaded the southern coast. The port probably continued to exist during the period of Palestine, when, according to certificates found in the port city of Ogaria, Ashdod was a prosperous trading city at the time.

During the 10th century BCE, there was a robe. Investigators speculate that he was probably destroyed by Pharaoh Seymmun, or by David the king in one of his wars in the invasions. In the 9th century BCE, it was restored with the renewal of the Palestinian settlement in the region, but did not last days and was destroyed again in the 8th century BC by Ozyahu, King of Judah.

In 732 BCE, she was enslaved in the plain. In a address written in 722 BC by the Second Suragon, King of Aragon, he noted that while traveling to the Land of Israel, he would restore the Palestinian towns of Ashdod and Goth, as well as the city of Asdomo. From the same time, the emerging city served as the new port of the mainland. The sea was built as a administrative center, and exiles from other countries under the control of the plain were brought to it. A description of the conquest of a Palestinian rope in one of the Sergon scriptures:

Infring, led by King Yoman, rebelled against the throne in 712 BC, with the support of Egypt. Sargon II oppressed the rebellion and conquered the surroundings of Ashdod, destroyed the city and exiled its residents. Sargon turned the area into the center of Ashory rule, and some researchers speculate that he transferred the county capital to the sea. In excavations made by Archaeologist Jacob Kaplan in Tel Aviv were found in the fortifications, according to Kaplan, were built by Yemeni as preparation for the attack of the Egyptian army following the rebellion. According to researcher Nadav, it is possible that the rebel was made of the fear that the illusion of the sea and its production by Sargon, cells on Ashdod and prevented it from accessing the sea and bringing money from maritime trade. Upon his rise to the power of Sanhru, son of Sargon, he embarked on a journey
