I know the family that lives in the house (in the background of your photos and video) that looks out over this sight. The son of the homeowner told me that his father bought it specifically because he knew that no one would ever build in front of his view, due to the significant archaeological sight right outside his window. He was very interested to read this article about the history of the sight he had grown up with, without knowing anything about its significance.
Wonderful to be honouring connections between different peoples! Especially when conflict seems endless. As you say, we're just a drop in the ocean of time. May we see better days. And I hope your foraging adventure this week goes well.
Thank You for a fascinating bit of history!
So glad you found this interesting - I did too!

Thank you! I strongly agree - we've gotta think big even when those around us are thinking small.
