1 gen 635 anni a. C. - Edomite Shrine at Tel Tamar

Descrizione:

in 1990, the dig team at Tel Tamar started digging just outside the walls of the fortress, expecting to find a moat or a sloped incline that would help fortify the city. Instead they found a pit. Inside the pit were found 75 limestone and clay vessels and ritual objects, including incense altars and a stone sculpture. These ritual objects were all thrown into the pit at the same time, and large cut stones called ashlars that are normally used to build walls were thrown down on top of the objects, crushing them. The pit and the ritual objects, which were connected to Edomite idol worship, were dated to this time period, the reforms of Josiah.
