AN ENTRY TO THE PROMISED LAND

Immediately after the conquest of an amazing thing: tribes of Israel taken root in the occupied land. They have abandoned the nomadic lifestyle. Canaan since time immemorial experienced raids of nomads, but they have always been sporadic. Tribes of the invaders appeared suddenly, grazed their cattle, and then also disappeared suddenly. The Israelis, on the other hand, have become sedentary, have started to process fields and clear forests. The children of Israel have left tents and built a hut: they settled among the ruins of houses in conquered cities. During the excavation of the Davira, Vefsamisa and Bethel on the surface of the remaining burnt formation in these cities remains of utensils.

The excavation has unequivocally established in that era a historic turning point. Where once were the homes of aristocrats and the palaces of ancient feudal lords, rural huts and fences. The massive defensive walls bear traces of repair. But the Israelis have very thin walls of brickwork. Erection of new strong defensive walls required the forced labour and the Israelis hate it more than anything else. They considered themselves free and independent people.

Quickly, many new settlements had traces of archaeologists found throughout the mountain districts. But the settlements remained very few: the basic building blocks of Israelis were Sun dried bricks of mud, and the construction of these were short-lived.

The Israelis were the real pioneers in these mountains. They are living in the uninhabited area of arid regions. It may sound implausible, but the technique used by the ancestors of the present-day Israelis were partially picked and used again in the modern State of Israel. The ancient children of Israel buried in the land of big vessels to collect rainwater and faced them inside a special lime stucco, which is still unknown. The catch was so strong that he could resist the destruction of thousands of years.
