  • The Haifa–Beirut–Tripoli Railway
    APPENDIX 2 THE HAIFA–BEIRUT–TRIPOLI RAILWA Y By A. E. FIEL D Syria does not lend itself easily to railway construction . Very little such work was undertaken between the two world wars. In 1940, however, the possibility of Allied occupation of the Lebanon, and the hope that Turke y would join the Allies, made it very desirable that there should be a direct link between the standard gauge line from the British bases i n Egypt and Palestine then terminating at Haifa, and the northern Syrian system ending at Tripoli . Earlier the French administration had considered the linking of Haifa and Tripoli by a route along the coast, but the project had been shelved for fear that the port of Haifa would benefit at the expense of Beirut. In 1940 and 1941 Middle East Command had surveys made of various routes as far as the Lebanon border . From a map study the first route favoured was from Haifa round the north o f the Sea of Galilee to Rayak where the proposed railway would join th e Homs-Aleppo-Turkey standard gauge line . This was ruled out because it involved very heavy cutting in basalt . The next possibility considered was an extension of the line northwards from Haifa along the coast to th e Litani River and thence inland to Metulla-Rayak, but the route could not be explored before the conquest of Syria in July 1941 . It then became evident that much heavy bridge work would be necessary in the Litani gorges which would not be economically justifiable as a wartime project .

  • 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.
