Tel Be'er Shev'a
Tel Be'er Shev'a submitted by motist : Tel Be'er Shev'a (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Village or Settlement in Israel. Be'er Sheva was the southernmost border of the Israelite kingdom, as becomes clear from the Biblical saying "From Dan to Be'er Sheva." More to the south, the desert began, inhabited first by Canaanite peoples, then Philistines, later by the Nabateans and Arabs. The fortifications that are found in the ancient site at Tel Be'er Sheva testify to its ancient function to ward off intruders from the south.

Be'er Sheva was built on the bank of a wadi which was flooded by rain water in the winter. In the summer the water lay shallow under the ground level. According to archeologists, the site was occupied from the 4th millennium BCE. In 3000 BCE its first peoples moved away and it was only seasonally inhabited by nomads, among these were presumably the Biblical patriarchs - but no archeological traces have been found of them ...
