| 1: | Timna
Timna Mushroom (for herself). Introduction: Timna is an Egyptian controlled mining area that produced copper and turquoise. The Egyptians mined copper & turquoise at both Timna and Serabit el-Khadim. Jezirat Faraun was the Egyptian mining sea port that served Timna. Since Jezirat Faraun is not located in Edomite territory, it cannot be Ezion-Geber which was located under the modern shipping yards of Aqaba, Jordan. Click to View Timna is often called "Solomon's Mines" even though there is nothing from the Bible that says Solomon had mines. Archeology has not verified that Solomon ever mined in Timna, although it would be a rather obvious conclusion, given the fortress he built at Elat. A much better choice for "Solomon's Mines" would be Khirbat en-Nahas since it has a 10th century fortress. Solomon may have mined Timna, but there is no evidence that he did: "We know today that the Timna copper mines and all contemporary copper mines on the west side of the Arabah and in the Mountains of ... ... https://www.bible.ca/archeology/bible-archeology-timna.htm | Size: 64K Depth: 2 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
| 2: | Negev Pottery: "Negev ware" "Negevite ware" Crude, hand made ... The disposable dinnerware of the ancient world. Click to View Pottery of the Bible Introduction: Negev ware pottery is hand made pottery from the Negev area of Israel from 1406 BC to 586 BC. Negev Pottery is also found at Qudeirat and Timna and the Egyptian port island of Jezirat Faraun and Elat and Khirbat en-Nahas. Negev pottery was the "disposable dinnerware" of the ancient world. It could be made easily by forming a dish out of clay to the shape of what you needed. In network of military border fortresses in the Negev built by Solomon in 950 BC, it was most likely made by the male soldiers of Solomon while stationed at these various fortresses he built to protect and enforce the border between Israel and Egypt. There were some 50 fortresses in the Negev that Solomon built and there is a similarity in the types of pottery found at them all including Negev pottery. One exception was the fortress at Kuntillet Ajrud, which lacked Negev pottery.

| 3: | Midianite Pottery: The designer import of the ancient world. The designer import of the ancient world. Pottery of the Bible Introduction: Midianite pottery was imported from Qurayyah in modern Saudi Arabia. (see map) The Kenites are a sect of Midianites that Moses invited to join him in the promised land. After settling in the Negev, the Kenites were responsible for importing their own pottery into their new home. "Scholars associate the pottery from Qurayyah with the Midianites, the very people that Moses was said to dwell among when he first fled Egyptand from whom he chose his wife, Zipporah. Evidence of habitation and culture from that same time periodthe presumed time of the Exodusis practically nonexistent in the Sinai peninsula. Harvard scholar Frank Moore Cross believes that the paucity of evidence in Sinaiand the considerable remains in Qurayyah, Al-Bad' and other Midianite sitespoints in favor of an Arabian location for Mt. Sinai." (Mt. Sinaiin Arabia?, Bible Review, Apr 2000, Allen Kerkeslager) Midianite pottery was ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/archeology/bible-archeology-midianite-pottery.htm | Size: 29K Depth: 5 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |
| 4: | The border Between Judah and Egypt: River of Egypt, Wadi el-Arish ... Wadi el-Arish, also known as the River of Egypt. Gen 15:18 Its called the "River/brook of Egypt" because it was the river that indicated the eastern border of Egyptian Territory. It is not called the "River of Syria" or the "River of Babylon" or the "River of Africa"! River of Egypt means the border river of Egypt. It doesn't get much plainer or simpler than that! 3. The Septuagint substitutes "Rhinocolura" for Brook of Egypt in Isaiah 27:12 a. MT: "In that day the Lord will start His threshing from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel." (Isaiah 27:12) b. LXX: "And this will happen on that day: God will fence in the people from the channel of the river as far as the Rhinocolura. But as for you, gather the children of Israel one by one." (Isaiah 27:12) 4. The River of Egypt IS NOT the Nile River or the Pelusiac arm of the Nile. a.

| 5: | Solomon's Fortress at Elat, Aqaba: Tell el-Kheleifeh and Jezirat ... Red Sea, in the land of Edom, very near Elat. Both Elat and Ezion Geber are located at the north end of the Gulf of Aqaba. One of the critical factors of Ezion-Geber, is that it was one stop before the 11 day journey from Mt. Sinai to Kadesh Barnea (Deut 1:2), by way of Mt. Seir. Mt. Sinai located at Jebel Al-Lawz in modern Saudi Arabia and Kadesh Barnea located at or near Petra fits perfectly, given they would pass right by Mt. Seir, the seat of transjordan Edomite territory. Ezion-geber, like Kadesh itself, must be on the edge of Edom's land. Archeologically, it can be proven that Edom was almost entirely transjordan until the time of the Babylonian captivity of 586 BC. This places Ezion-geber on the east side of Elat, not the west. If archeologists had merely read the Bible, they would have used it as a guide to look in the right place. "The first one to suggest the identification of Ezion-geber with Tell el-Kheleifeh was Fritz Frank.

| 6: | Timna: Valley of the Biblical Copper Mines, Beno Rothenberg, ... Timna Valley is a discontinuous sedimentary formation from Fig. 15 10-30 m. high, interrupted by red Nubian sandstone intrusions and the narrow and rugged side arms of the four main wadis of the Valley. Most of this horizon contains some copper ore nodules but the ancient miners must have noticed that some of the rocks contain more nodules than others and concentrated their efforts accordingly. This is why eight large centres of mining activities were found along the to km. long white sandstone formation, operating at the end of the Late Bronze Age and well into the Early Iron Age I, from the fourteenth to the twelfth centuries B C. As the Arabah Expedition's excavations proved, this was a Pharaonic Egyptian enterprise of the Ramesside Dynasties, working in conjunction with the local Midianite and Amalekite tribes. The mining faces of this period show clear evidence of open cast Plate 16 mining and, sometimes, shallow digging following rich concen-trations of copper ore nodules.

| 8: | Solomon's network of military border fortresses in the Negev Biblical and archeological point of view. It is clear that Pharaoh Shishak destroyed the fortresses in 924 BC. We even have his account etched into the stone at Temple of Amon in Karnak. (see below) Since we know that the fortresses had a short occupation life, this fits perfectly with Solomon as the builder just 26 years earlier. The opinion on the builder and dates of these fortresses varies depending on the bias of the archeologist and fall into two categories: Those who believe the Bible and those who do not. Basically, those archeologists who believe the Bible attribute these 50 fortresses to Solomon in 950 BC. Those archeologists who say Solomon and David are mostly a myth, will attribute dates before or after David/Solomon, but fight hard to avoid any suggestion that confirms the historicity of David/Solomon as revealed in the Bible. Sure these Bible trashing archeologists believe David and Solomon were real people, just that most of what the Bible says is untrue.
