Tal Ako, also known as Napoleon, is hanging in the east of the city of Akko. The height is 30 meters tall, and it is located in the center of the coastline of the Zambulon Valley and the Galilee Coast. Its territory is about 200 hectares, which is about 600 meters long and is approximately 350 meters wide. The stake is about 700 meters east of the sea coast, and about 750 meters north of the current route of the moving stream. The southern part of the steep has been destroyed in the last centuries, mainly due to land mining for construction purposes.
The steep demand near the comfortable natural anchor in Haifa Bay and its proximity to international trade routes has made it a settlement center for thousands of years. Many historical sources indicate that in ancient times, there was a sequence of important cities. Remains were found from the Middle Bronze Age until the beginning of the Hellenistic period. They reflect a material culture of a Canaanite coastal city, which had commercial and cultural ties with Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus and the sea. At the beginning of the Hellenistic period, the city spread to the Western slopes to the place where the ancient Akko is present.
The names of the city and
Over the course of history, Tala had several names:
The Arab residents call the "Tal-Fophar" , perhaps because of the many insects. Abner Ravin proposed that the origin of the name stems from workshops for the production of pottery vessels that took place at the foot of the stammer until the 1980s of the previous century. Some of them may even have sold the land of the ancient fortification batteries for the manufacture of pottery vessels.
In the Hellenistic Cafe, the city was named Fatuleus, probably the name of the III stamps, which initiated the renewed construction of the Acre port. This name may have referred to the new return that roses and west of the jaw. This name was used throughout the Hellenistic period and during the Roman period and it appears on coins that were then coined in the city.
In documents described by Akka during the early Muslim period (from the 9th century), the city was named Akka.
"Third Heart Harry" for Richard's name Harry, King of England, when the siege of the city's A-din rib on 1191.
Toulone was the name of the three in the Crusaders.
Napoleon is the popular name of the three, for Napoleon's name which imposed a siege on Acre in 1799. The stake served Napoleon's forces as an observational position, similar to the use of Napoleon in Tel Aviv when the siege on Jaffa.
History of History
The Bronze Age
The stake first sits in the Early Bronze Age (3300 to 2200 BC), and instead of an agricultural settlement that was abandoned in 3000 BC. The settlement in Tel was renewed only during the Middle Bronze Age (2000 to 1550 BCE), and then a fortified city was established in the Kcalf Wall and a protective battery, with a two-story white fortress. Instead of the remains of the west-facing city gate, he was named the "Sea Gate". At this time, Acre was mentioned in Egyptian journals. That same time, the Akko Valley became the largest and most crowded urban bloc in the entire area of the Land of Israel, and it could be considered to be the second most important of it. The city continued and expanded during the 15th century BCE, but in the end it was destroyed in the fire.
The Canaanite city reached its peak during the Late Bronze Age in the 14th century BC and in the 13th century BC, and operated an important port that stood in trading ties with Cyprus and the Aegean Sea. The port held that time in the mouth of a moving stream that was closer to the pod. Alongside agriculture, industries of metal processing and ergman production were operating from ovaries. The Canaanites produced the color from two types of ovaries – an amorphous aberration here (Thais Haemastoma) and a monographer (Murex Brandaris). The Argonman Beach next to Tel commemorates this symbolically.
The city has also been mentioned thirteen times in Al-Amarr’s letter, in the writings found in the city of Ogari, near the Tatiya in Syria, and in the addresses of the inscriptions in the city of O’Gara
