תיאור

The book summarizes the excavations conducted jointly at Tel Gezer by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary from 2010 to 2018. These excavations, which involved significant technological efforts and cleaning almost the entire water system, confirmed that it existed in the Middle Bronze Age IIB (1750–1550 BCE), that the aquifer was the water’s source, and that it was the largest water system in the world from this period yet uncovered, and that this type of system was invented in the Land of Israel. Thus, the enigmas of the water system of Tel Gezer were resolved 111 years after its initial excavation.
