British scientific journal "International Journal of Nautical Archaeology" recently addressed the disclosure of a mysterious building in the bottom of the Sea of Galilee. The building is located referred to in the south-west of Tiberias freely, a building dating back to thousands of years, built a huge stone in the form of a full circle. He had been detected for the first time in 2003 by Professor Shmulik Marco, a researcher at the School of geophysics at Tel Aviv University.
Study the building has still not been and remains among the puzzles, the center of weights that he built over land before plunging waters of the lake. The aim of the study Marco beginning to understand the source of the stones. And pushed to the back of the building and again to dive into the depths and photographing the building, composed of basalt stones. It is estimated that the stones weigh up to about 60 thousand tons, a building shaped like a cone, and Qatar all rock up to about meters.
It turns out that the building up to a diameter of about 70 meters, while a height of up to 10 meters. The base of the building located at a depth of 8-9 meters from the lake water surface, an increase of between 218.5 - 219.9 meters below the average sea level, while the rise in the water level in the lake the day up about 210 meters below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea. It also found that the floor of the building has been flooded with silt up 2-3 meters.
Under the accumulation of silt function it is likely that the age of the building up to about six thousand years. According to the archaeologist Yitzhak Paz, of Beersheba University, who co-wrote the report, it is difficult to estimate the age of the building and its function because it has not been any excavations in place. Researchers say that the huge pile stones in the bottom of the lake is man-made, not made up normally. Presumably researcher Paz that a large number of workers have made great efforts in the building as part of a "social organization structured and serious." It is also believed that the talk about "huge project", and that the builders were forced to bring heavy stones from sites located 3-4 kilometers. Also believed that the building was built in the old Albrooenzue Age (third millennium BC), and it is likely that his relationship with "nearby" Khirbet Kerak.
Is noteworthy in this context that the Khirbet Kerak historical ("House of rest" is located to the southwest of the Sea of Galilee, a kilometer and a half of the building. It was formerly inhabited city a huge city and fortified well and with a civilian system and the streets paved. The researchers also linking the mysterious building and between Khirbet Batiha or stoned barn in the Golan, just the last 16 kilometers to the east of the north shore of the Sea of Galilee, and suspected astronomical site of Albrooenzue era reflects the understanding of the ancestors of Astronomy. He says Marco He does not appear to have been building when the lake level is high, in addition to the fact that the building is circular It is often difficult process of construction under the water. It stresses that it can not conclude that the water level in the lake was lower at 10 meters from the current level.
Conceived and due to the fact that the lake is located on break geologist effectively the bottom of the lake is constantly falling, and therefore it may be assumed that the bottom of the lake has dropped by about 6 meters, and for this reason, the difference of the water level at the time and what it is today much less than 10 meters. I remind readers that the brothers in the previous ten years have been many dishes Alaovo monitoring plane hovering over the Sea of Galilee in occupied Palestine and why the people of Gog and Magog will pass by the Sea of Galilee .. However, there are fresh water drinkable in the world, but the Sea of Galilee.
