Anglo Israel Archaeological Society Lecture Tel Aviv University excavations in the Timna Valley have demonstrated that the peak of industrial activities occurred during the 10th century BC — and not during the time of the Egyptian New Kingdom, as previously believed.

So this raises the question of who was responsible for these vast mining activities. Could the Aravh copper from this region have been the source of King David and Solomon’s wealth in Jerusalem?

This lecture will explore these questions through the finds from 10 years of excavations in this fascinating region.

Registration details will be posted here in October. Zoom access will be from 4:45 pm.
