Two panorama scenes and one of Jam'a A-Sattin, with the lintel in situ, which is now being excavated.

Sun Slipping Up Into the Sky Over Shiloh

This morning as I walked out of my house at 6:20 AM in Shiloh, in the distance on the horizon over the hills, beyond the caravans and Shvut Rachel across on the next ridge, I spied the sun slipping up into the dark clouds which have brought us late winter rain these past two days:

Pics From Friday's Visit Around Shiloh

With great pleasure, my wife and I hosted a journalism graduate student over the Shabbat and I Friday, withthe assistance of Marc Prowiser's all-terrain vehicle, off we went to the hills:

a) just north of Keida and off and below the old Camp Keida, a new outlook position is being contructed.  That's Sartaba in the far distance and Duma village close up:

b) Camp Keida seen from the west:

c) on that hill were the two structures of Alei-Ayin:

d) a deep hole in the ground, used for snappeling training for emergency crews:

e) the southern line of bedrock at Tel Shiloh, thought to be the Tabernacle Courtyard, on the north plateau of the Tel:

f) new construction work at Shiloh:

g) progress and growth of new communities in nthe Shiloh Bloc:
