Not enough on rock shelters

[edit]

@Dovidroth: thank you, Dovid, for translating the Hebrew article! Excellent job. I missed an English article quite a bit.

Who knows now where to get material for the rock shelters from? That part has hardly got a mention: where, what, how? Thanks, Arminden (talk) 00:42, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mariamnei has done the heavy lifting regarding the Bar Kokhba refuge caves. Chapeau! All what's missing now are the rock shelters. Arminden (talk) 22:25, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Must be renamed & rewritten

[edit]

New research shows that the hiding complexes started earlier and their use in Bar Kokhba Revolt was just a final (if very important) chapter in a long evolution. Arminden (talk) 22:38, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Main use and spread was before & during the BK revolt, so we can argue about keeping the name. Arminden (talk) 20:09, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Photo: what, where

[edit]

Owenglyndur, hi. The photo looks absolutely great, but I wasn't aware of a hiding complex at a place called Hurvatt El Ein, the entrance looks a bit too fancy for a hiding complex, plus the spelling and Hebrew-Arabic mix looked suspicious, so I looked it up. Are you sure it isn't a burial cave, quite large but not connected to any tunnels? Boaz Zissu excavated one at Khirbet el-'Ein in the Shephelah. If so, the photo can be used at Rock-cut tombs in ancient Israel. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 08:48, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at B. Zissu's Fig. 5... Arminden (talk) 08:51, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
