By
the American archaeologist, Nelson Gluek, our understanding of the living
conditions of Israelis during that period became even more. According to the
scholar, the area was inhabited by the semi-nomad tribes, who supported trade
and commercial relations with both Canaan and Egypt. Among them was composed of
Midian, Moses was living in exile.
An
Israeli archaeologist made his Rothenberg, Benno accidental discovery (he found
the idol in the form of a bronze serpent up five inches and partially decorated
with gold leaf) is the archaeological site, where there were traces of Midian.
And, as if this sensational confirmation of such controversial biblical story
about wandering the Israelites in the desert were not enough, the same place
where the snake was found sanctuary!
Its
dimensions are close to the sanctuary, described in the Bible. It was the site
of a more ancient Egyptian places of worship of the goddess Hathor. Midian, the
Egyptians developed the Timna copper mines, have turned this place into a
sanctuary of their own religion and covered his canopy; Rothenberg found not
only the holes for the Poles, instead of a tent, but also the remnants of
fabric from the canopy.
Opening of Rotenberg gave us the possibility to suggest that Israelis are in fairly early had buff as described in the Bible.
