The majority of Palestinian guide-books are confined to describing sites of religious, historical and archaeological interest, largely, if not wholly, omitting reference to modern Palestine, represented in the main by the progressive upbuilding of the Jewish National Home. Similarly tours arranged by the various Travel Agencies usually apportion very little, if any, time to modern Jewish settlements and institutions, despite their remarkable advance in the past few years. This booklet does not aspire to take the place of the regular guide-books, but to supplement them with an account ofthe achievements due to Jewish settlement. We believe that precisely the traveller who is desirous of reconstructing the scenes of the Bible will be most interested in the country's present development proceeding, as it largely does, on the lines of Biblical tradition. Not only the Jew coming to Palestine to witness his people's return to its ancestral soil, but also the Gentile, watching the trend of the times with an open mind, will be fasci- nated by the unprecedentedpicture of the homecoming of a people after 2,000 years of exile, by the revival of the language of the Pentateuch and the Psalms and by the striving for improved forms of social life. Visits to Jewish villages are easily fitted into the frame of regular itineraries. The Zionist Infor- mation Bureau, located in St. Julian's Way, opposite the offices of the Jewish Agency and Anglo-Palestine Bank, places its services at the disposal of every visitor. Programs are prepared and information pro- vided on the various aspects of Jewish constructive work without any charge. Spring and autumn are the most favourable seasons for visiting Palestine. But summer, too, is being increasingly taken advantage of for this purpose. Spring is the time chosen by the majority because the countryside is then strewn with flowers; and in addition the Purim Festival in Tel Aviv, celebrated along popular lines, and Passover week in Jerusalem, offer special attractions for many.

    Nisan / The Levantine Review Volume 4 Number 2 (Winter 2015) Identity and Peoples in History Speculating on Ancient Mediterranean Mysteries Mordechai Nisan* We are familiar with a philo-Semitic disposition characterizing a number of communities, including Phoenicians/Lebanese, Kabyles/Berbers, and Ismailis/Druze, raising the question of a historical foundation binding them all together. The ethnic threads began in the Galilee and Mount Lebanon and later conceivably wound themselves back there in the persona of Al-Muwahiddun [Unitarian] Druze. While DNA testing is a fascinating methodology to verify the similarity or identity of a shared gene pool among ostensibly disparate peoples, we will primarily pursue our inquiry using conventional historical materials, without however—at the end—avoiding the clues offered by modern science. Our thesis seeks to substantiate an intuition, a reading of the contours of tales emanating from the eastern Mediterranean basin, the Levantine area, to Africa and Egypt, and returning to Israel and Lebanon. The story unfolds with ancient biblical tribes of Israel in the north of their country mixing with, or becoming Lebanese Phoenicians, travelling to North Africa—Tunisia, Algeria, and Libya in particular— assimilating among Kabyle Berbers, later fusing with Shi’a Ismailis in the Maghreb, who would then migrate to Egypt, and during the Fatimid period evolve as the Druze. The latter would later flee Egypt and return to Lebanon—the place where their (biological) ancestors had once dwelt. The original core group was composed of Hebrews/Jews, toward whom various communities evince affinity and identity today with the Jewish people and the state of Israel.

It is located near the southern area of the Jordan valley. The salt-rich Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth's surface, being 400 meters below sea level. The air around the Dead Sea is unpolluted, dry, and pollen-free with low humidity, providing a naturally relaxing environment. The air in the region has a high mineral content due to the constant evaporation of the mineral rich water. 3. The Dead Sea comes in the list of the world's greatest landmarks, and is sometimes considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. People usually miss out on this as they do not realize the importance of its unique contents. The Dead Sea has twenty-one minerals which have been found to give nourishment to the skin, stimulate the circulatory system, give a relaxed feeling, and treat disorders of the metabolism and rheumatism and associate pains.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.
