"hanging in the stomach"

- CONTENT -
A STEEP BLAZE (ORIGINALLY: THALL AL-BATASHI) IS AN ANCIENT STEEP IN THE AREA OF HUMILIATION, ON THE WEST OF A NARROW KIBBUTZ.

THE CONVENTIONAL IDENTIFICATION OF THE PODIUM IS WITH THE OLD TOWN OF ISRAEL, WHICH IS MUCH MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE AND FROM THE SOURCES OF THE SECOND TEMPLE PERIOD.

THE EXCAVATIONS AND RESEARCH IN TEL AVIV
IT WAS DISCOVERED IN THE 19TH CENTURY BY CHARLES CLARAMON-NAGAN, WHO THOUGHT THAT THE DEPEND WAS A ROMAN MILITARY CAMP. IN THE 40S OF THE 20TH CENTURY, HE WAS SURVEYED BY BENJAMIN MASER AND JACOB KAPLAN WHO WERE OF HIS IMPORTANCE. MASER INITIALLY OFFERED TO IDENTIFY THE DEPENDENCY WITH THE PRINCIPLE, BUT AFTER THE PRINCIPLE WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE NEXT GRANT, IT IS DIFFERENT TO IDENTIFY IT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE BIBLICAL DESCRIPTION.

THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS IN TEL WERE CARRIED OUT FROM 1977, BY A FOREIGNER FROM THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY, AND CONTINUED FOR 12 EXCAVATION SEASONS UNTIL 1989.

HISTORY OF HISTORY
ACCORDING TO ARCHEOLOGICAL FINDINGS, THE 3RD AREA WAS NEARLY CONTINUOUSLY INHABITED FROM THE CHLOCAL PERIOD TO THE PERSIAN PERIOD IN ISRAEL. NOT FAR FROM THE ROD, ON THE EASTERN BATTALION OF THE שור STREAM, REMAINS OF A ROMAN ROAD WERE DISCOVERED, AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF HANGINGS CALLED “SULTS IN THE TESH”, WHICH ARE THE REMAINS OF A SETTLEMENT FROM THE NEOLITHIC, CHLOCAL AND BRONZE AGE. THE EXCAVATIONS MADE IN TEL INDICATES THAT YOU ARE FIRST SEATED AT THE END OF THE PREHISTORIC ERA. THERE WERE 12 SETTLEMENT LAYERS.

THE BRONZE AGE
THE ANCIENT LAYERS IN TEL (LEV 12-11) ARE DATED TO THE MIDDLE BRONZE AGE 2 (1750-1550 BCE). THE SETTLEMENT WAS FLOODED WITH DIRT BATTERIES AND THE NORTHEASTERN CORNER OF THE POD WAS EXPOSED TO A CORNER OF MONUMENTAL STRUCTURE, PROBABLY THE FORTRESS OF THE CITY. BASED ON THE CERAMIC FINDING FROM THE NEXT LAYER, THE FORTRESS WAS PROBABLY DESTROYED AROUND 1600 BC. ABOVE THE RUINS OF THE FORT WERE THE REMAINS OF ITS OWN RESIDENTIAL LAYER OF THE MIDDLE BRONZE PERIOD 2 OR FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE LATE BRONZE AGE 1 (ST. 10).

IN THE 8TH LAYER DATED TO THE LATE BRONZE AGE IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL, THERE IS A LARGE TWO-STORY HOUSE THAT IS UNIQUE TO THE PERIOD. IN TWO SQUARE ROOMS IN THE BUILDING DOZENS OF POTTERY VESSELS WERE FOUND, AND THEY BUILT IMPORTS FROM CYPRUS. IN A LAYER ATTRIBUTED TO THE 14TH CENTURY BCE, IN WHICH A THICK LAYER OF FIRE WAS FOUND, MANY ARTIFACTS WERE FOUND, INCLUDING DOZENS OF POTTERY VESSELS, VARIOUS BRONZE ARTIFACTS, FIVE CYLINDER SEALS, TWO HALVES (OF THE THIRD AMPHECIES AND HIS SPOUSE WILL BE CUT). THE CITY WAS ABANDONED AT THE END OF THE LATE BRONZE AGE.

IRON AGE
IN THE FIFTH LAYER, THE REMAINS OF THE CITY WERE EXPOSED FROM THE IRON AGE I, FROM THE 11TH CENTURY BC. THE SETTLEMENT WAS RE-ESTABLISHED AND EXTENDED TO MOST OF THE AREA OF THE 3RD. ACCORDING TO THE MATERIAL FINDING, A TYPICAL PALESTINE-STYLE POTTERY VESSEL, SEALS AND CONTAINS A SYMPATHICAL DESCRIPTION OF A PLAY IN THE VIOLIN, AND A SIGN OF A STAMP DEPICTING A PERSON AND A LIVING, IT WAS A PALESTINIAN SETTLEMENT.

IN THE 4TH LAYER, THE REMAINS OF THE CITY WERE EXPOSED FROM THE IRON AGE II, ATTRIBUTED TO THE TSCH IN THE 10TH CENTURY BC. THIS LAYER FEATURES BUCKETS, POTTERY VESSELS FROM RED BEACHES AND DIRTY GREENS IN HAND, AS WELL AS WALLS OF LOW RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS. THIS LAYER WAS PROBABLY DESTROYED BY PHARAOH’S FIRST JOURNEY. IN THE NEXT LAYER (TIER 3) THE SETTLEMENT IS RENEWED AFTER A SETTLEMENT GAP ON THE SITE, THE DAYS OF THE KING MAY BE STRENGTHENED. THE CITY WAS SURROUNDED BY A SYSTEM OF ELABORATE CREATURES THAT INCLUDED A FULL STONE WALL, A SLIPPERY WALL AND A WALL SUPPORTED CITIES FROM THIS PERIOD IN TEL AVIV AND A SUBSTITUTE. THE CITY GATE WAS EXPOSED ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE TOWERS FROM THE PREVIOUS LAYER. IN ONE OF THE BUILDINGS FROM THIS PERIOD WERE FOUND IN POTTERY CANALS, WHICH ON ONE OF THEM THE INSCRIPTION WAS DISCOVERED: “KING” AND FOLLOWING A PRIVATE SIGNATURE “ABDUCTOR.” THE COMPLEX OF POTTERY VESSELS FOUND IN THE RESIDENTIAL HOUSES OF LAYER 3 DOES NOT CHARACTERIZE JUDEA AND IS CLOSER TO THE COMPLEXES OF THE COASTAL AREA. AMONG THE FINDINGS WERE ALSO THREE PANCREATIC-STYLE POTTERY PATTERNS DEPICTING NUDE WOMEN.

THE SETTLEMENT IS PROBABLY A SWORD ON A SARDUOUS JOURNEY
