Interesting article. This feature has been tentitively identified as a huge stone cairn built with unmodified boulders, probably circa 3rd millenium BCE.

All this pre Biblical work going on in Israel, Syria, and Jordan, even Arabia, is interesting.
I guess it was a “promising land” long before it was the “Promised Land.”

I think it is amazing they can still find undisturbed stuff when you consider the amount of continuous occupation in the area.

Because of prolonged drought the water levels in the Sea of Galilee and Dead Sea are dropping. Apparently this is a cyclical thing so it isn't all that astonishing. Similar to Doggerland. Someday if sea levels drop that may re-emerge too.
