Archaeologists Discover Agricultural Village
Archaeologists in Jerusalem’s Arab neighborhood of Sharafat
discovered a large agricultural village that offers evidence of a
Jewish history in Jerusalem dating 2,150 years, JNS.org reported.

The Hasmonean-era Jewish village included a multigenera-
tional burial chamber, olive press, ritual baths, a water cistern,
dovecote, rock quarries and jar fragments dating to the time of
the Maccabees.

The Moriah Jerusalem development corporation funded
the excavation on behalf of the City of Jerusalem. It is part
of preparations to build a new elementary school in the
Muslim and Christian Arab neighborhood, which is between
Jerusalem’s Biblical Zoo and the Gilo neighborhood on the city’s
southeastern side.

Part of the site may eventually be turned into a public exhibit,
the Israel Antiquities Authority said.

Israel Claims Title of World’s Longest Salt Cave
After 80 spelunkers mapped the Malcham cave in the Southern
Dead Sea Region, Israel now claims the title of the world’s longest
salt cave, The Times of Israel reported.

The cave spans about 6.2 miles and takes the title from Iran’s
3N Cave, which is only about 4 miles long.

“The fact that we broke the Iranian record is not a politi-
cal thing,” said Yoav Negev, the chairman of the Israel Cave
Explorers Club. “We know this area is unexplored, and we
want to explore it. The fact that we broke the record is only for
the headline. We don’t want it to impact our relationship with
Iranian cavers. We see it as good motivation for both countries.”

The Malcham salt cave formed when winter floodwaters
seeped into the solid rock exterior covering Mount Sodom, a
7-mile block of salt. The water dissolved the salt and carved
an underground river. After the water drained, the cave was
left behind. l
