Historical Sites in Israel
Добавлен 25 дек 2021
For many years, I have been visiting historical sites, trying to capture how life was then. What really happened at the site in those ancient days, and how is the place connected to my heritage? how did they live? what were their occupations and food sources? Traveling for the purpose of understanding history is a joy for me, not a profession. This RUclips site is all about sharing the knowledge I gained from historical sites in Israel. I hope I bring a different angle, especially as I am not a historian nor an archaeologist, just a lover of ancient historical sites.

Sidonian Burial Cave - Built 2,300 years ago
After the destruction of the first temple at the beginning of the 6th century BC, The Edomites settled in Maresha as they did throughout the south of Judah. Because of this, the whole area was called "Idumea". Maresha was the central city that ruled the western part of Idumea, at the same time as Adoraim ruled the east part. After Alexander the Great's concord the land of Israel in 332 BCE, Sidonians who accepted the Greek culture arrived here.
We are at the entrance to the Sidonian burial caves - the most important and largest tomb system in the region. These caves are two of many caves carved by Phoenicians who settled in Maresha. In the caves, large niches were carved to place the dead...

We are at the lower part of the Golan region in northern Israel, overlooking the ancient city of Gamla. One of the last actions of suppressing the revolt in the Galilee, and perhaps the most dramatic of them, took place in Gamla. Why did Vespasian put so much effort into conquering a city in a relatively remote place? There are two reasons which I explain them both in the video. According to Jo...

Struthion Pool & Water supply to the Temple in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago

In ancient times, Jerusalem enjoyed an efficient water supply system. In the excavations conducted in the upper city, it was found that every house had at least one cistern, which collected the rainwater from the roof. In addition, the city had water reservoirs. I will refer to some of the reservoirs inside the walls - those located north of the Temple Mount and this includes the Birket Israel,...

0:56 That behind you. are three entrances some idiot tried to make in the wall, many centuries later. When he tried to make tunnels up to the Temple Mount he struck bedrock and gave up, and closed the entrances
2:10 This is the three doors entrance to the Royal Basilica where Jesus taught every day. Later Cathedrals are made in remembrance of this building. There are seven arches under the staircase. The three doors entrance also had three arches.

Isaiah 36, 2 refers to the Upper pool on the hwy to the fuller field .. do we know where this pool is today? Thank you
Amen
Were there😂 water cisterns and where were they please?. Also was there any cultivated areas nearby? Thank you
Hi, there were quite few water cisterns in Gamla, both inside the wall and outside and they can be still seen today. There were cultivated areas on the hill across Gamla brook, so that the farmers left to work there at the beginning of the week and returned at the end. There will be a dedicated video on the income source of Gamla's residents uploaded later this year.
Is this legitimately David's son's actual tomb where his body rested or n😢
Hi, I address this question starting at the 9th minute of the video based on Professor Gabriel Barkay’s article on the subject: Since the building is dated to the first half of the first century - The special shape of the structure leads to identifying it as a burial place of a key figure from the first century. Also, the special location and the proximity to the Temple Mount makes it necessary to assume that those buried here had a noble and special status. After the discovery of Herod’s tomb in Herodion, the closest equivalent to Herod’s mausoleum is Absalom’s tombstone in Jerusalem, suitable for a royal burial. Marcus Julius Agrippa is Agrippa the 1st, king of Judah, born in 10/11 BC. Agrippa was the son of Aristobulus, son of Miriam the Hasmonean & Herod, and his wife Berenice. He ascended to the throne in the year 34 and in 41 he overtook the rule over all of Israel. He died 2 or 3 years later, at the age of 54. At the end of his days, Agrippa saw himself primarily as the king of Judah with Jerusalem as its capital. The priestly attribution of Agrippa as a grandson of the Hasmonean family on his grandmother’s side, gave him many advantages among the Jews. Jerusalem and the temple were important to him, and they occupied a central place in his being. I recommend you watch that part of the video yet the conclusion is that Agrippa was berried here.
@@historicalsitesinisraelthanks fo the reply... Understood per
❤🕊️🙏
Thank you for the excellent lecture.
Conquer is a verb and consequently makes little sense as used in the title of this video. I suggest editing the title to read, "The Conquest of Gamla by the Romans".
Thank you for the correction
Nicely done! Thanks for preparing. Very interesting and insightful.
Was the Israel pool used to wash sacrificial stock prior to being led into the Temple? Or was it Bethesda's or both? Since Struthion was for consumption and/or ritual baths?
Hi, Even though all were active during the 2nd temple period, it is probably that the pool of Israel and Bethesda's pool didn't operate at the same time. All were probably used for consumption and for supporting services at the temple. Ritual bath were mostly located close to the temple entrances, on the south and west sides of the temple mount.
Those bitumen pits were also mentioned Genesis when Lot and Abraham were living near the Dead Sea.
Understand cisterns were created... But up hill... Use of water would have been very minimal else these sites would have survived longer through time... Abstanace would have been a form of teaching to live on as little as possible till all forsook the place...
Water is life... Where is it? No good to Hebrews. What was the water angle here please?
The general of Davids army killed Absalom, despite of Davids order not to kill him.
Great explanation
Where does the sewer line finally ends? Over centuries of use there Must be some accumulation traces?
Good question, In ancient times, most of the sewers of Jerusalem ended in valleys that cross or surround the city
Hasmonean, what is its definition, and how is it tied to being Jewish?
Hi, The Hasmoneans - a Jewish dynasty that started by Mattathias the priest in 167BCE and ended during 37/38 BCE when Herod took over. For more information I recommend to see the video ruclips.net/video/XBZylf3F9F0/видео.html
Well presented very nice music tines and a fantastic painter artist! The show is well framed and that makes it all very very interested.... Am looking forward to my trip over Eretz Yisrael! Thank you
From my position as a viewer, I could make 2 donkey ears on the Roman figure... Another thought might be that the figure was carved at a later time...
Thank you for this very well presented doc on this gate. The Dung Gate... Its location... Not its age... Could it be that there was an opening right there from King David time?
Thank you. During King David's reign, the residential area was south of the current Dung gate in the area named "City of David", hence there was probably no gate at that location at that time. Also, the 1st temple was built on Mount Moriah only during his son, King Salomon's reign. There is very limited information on the city wall and its gates at that time. Only during the beginning of the 2nd temple period (5th century BCE) there is much more information as listed in the book of Nehemiah. Hope this information helps

Why would Israel let Muslims control the Temple Mount?
Is the golden gate built on top of an more ancient gate? In other words if yes then is this first gate level buried below?
According to the Mishna, there was one gate only in the eastern wall named Shushan during the 2nd temple period, starting approx 2,500 years ago. There will be a video on Shushan gate later this year. There are several opinions on its location
Thank you. This is according verbal tradition if correct. Also was it Nehemiah telling about going back to Jerusalem to rebuild it .. if so can't we cross reference the gates with his account? I may be wrong here and I apologize if so.
Thank you Amazing content

Fantastic video I truly enjoyed that the history in Israel is far beyond any culture in the world. Finding the Garden of Eden would be good. What plays on my mind is if you added water would the seeds from the beginning grow 🤔 you may say that just silly but Israel found seeds from over 2000 years ago and brought them back to life. But Israel should be number one in the wonders of the world.
Thank you
Enjoying these video's and the history/teaching, greatly! Wondering if Jesus would have walked on the two Roman cardo's that are talked about in this video?
Israel is a leader in irrigation yesterday today and tomorrow.
Also tube is great for learning as it allows replay! Lots of good information to take in to help the imagination!🎉
Ah now I understand the northern pools thank you
Where do all the building stones go? Thank you
Hi, Many of the stones were taken for secondary construction, meaning the construction of new houses in reference to that time

Thank you! is the brook still active or has it been filled? Thank you. I am planning a visit to Eretz Yisrael next year... plan A, and will certainly visit this site...
Hi, The brook is not active, yet when you visit the pool from the side of the western wall tunnel, there is water in that part
Beautiful musical tune! Thank you, what is its name?
Thank you. The music was composed by a brilliant musician - Nadav Holtzman, especially for Historical Sites in Israel YT channel.
Is there more on the other caves? U said "until we visit more cave s I have a question 4 U". Can I come with U? I do really enjoy the documentaries! Thank you so much.

There was a main brook feeding each pool, what was its exact course? I understand it was North of the Temple Complex and at a higher elevation. Where did it eventually drain? Kidron Valley? I assume it is now buried under the city now?
Hi, The water reached the pool from north of the city, in the tributaries of Beit Zita brook (close to Herod’s gate) whose main channel drains into the central valley and from there into the Kidron brook
I have just discovered your documentaries. They are so good and so well presented and documented. Thank you so much for the very interesting information. well done!
Thank you
yes really great place ?!

If Suleiman rebuilt the gate, it's not the original gate and Jesus will not be returning through this gate..... Sorry, but stop with false doctrine.... He doesn't need a gate if he stands upon Mount Olive 🫒 and splits it in half, that's more than enough proof
