Addendum to last week: the suspicion that Militaeraufgebot in the vicinity of our Tells whether to lead back to a missing person report has been confirmed. However, appeared the missing soldier, who apparently belonged to some special unit, now up again. Apparently he had no right in the maneuver tired of it, and went home. Most Israelis are now so be happy for two reasons: first, because he's back and was not kidnapped the subject line and secondly because they do not put in his shoes. Because most likely the young man is small at first walking in the jail.
Now to the last weekend: On Saturday I
had booked a not very cheap, but all the more impressive tour to or from Galilee. On the way over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv we drove including through the valley of Megiddo, Har-Mageddon, and were - as you see - get out alive again. It surprised me how little there, Tell compared to our world famous is. However, the former is certainly no less important, after all, already been to date over 30 different building levels excavated.
were far more fascinating, however, Nazareth and Kefar Nahum (Capernaum). Both times it is due to ease in the first place to the Franciscans, that not just blindly built a new church on the ruins of the old, but research was done was more important archaeologically. And the results are remarkable! In contrast to the religious buildings in Jerusalem can be seen near these two places are still the remains of as Maria's parents house, the synagogue and the home of Peter's mother, which could largely upon identification of graffiti, which in some cases even on the 1 . Century were dated.
If only a few weeks or just days has the time, there are really only two good reasons, to come to Israel: tourist and scientific (whether archeology, geology, theology, sociology or other). In Galilee, one comes in two respects at his expense. I rate but still depends, to visit from the so-called Holy Land spiritual reasons - you'd be disappointed. Yesterday, Sunday
want to mention I did that I went with three other Grabungsvolontaeren the archaeological park at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where one of the three, was unfortunately bitten by a scorpion. The museum people but responded immediately shouted for an ambulance and were very accommodating. Although we had already seen about 80% of the whole exhibition, we got all four of the full ticket price refunded back.
Slowly I will be aware, though, for what it really was a blessing to connect just in Palestine on a nail. The Israeli hospital prices are namely astronomical and also I would have without the slight injury to his foot two days of exciting work in the office missed. So I could also learn about archeology from all sides.
Sun is now but soon to dinner and then the whole still remained excavation border troop to Beit Guvrin to a classical concert, which is practically the alternative program to a lecture on Bronze and Iron Ages in Jerusalem (the teacher is ill).
Many Greetings from the kibbutz,
Magnus
