CONFLICTING STATEMENTS

The Biblical Reference paragraph states, "archaeologists have not yet been successful in finding a settlement dating to the first century."

The Archaeology 2nd paragraph states, "The site is an excavated ruin today, but was inhabited starting in the 1st century"

Please fix.

anachronism

This discussion has been disrupted by block evasion, ban evasion, or sockpuppetry from the following user:

Geshem Bracha (talk · contribs · block log · spi · lta)

Comments from this user should be excluded from assessments of consensus.

Chorazin is not located anywhere. Israel did not exist at this time, and the usage is anachronistic. nableezy - 13:11, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also the removal of the depopulation is straightforward tendentious editing, and will be reverted. nableezy - 13:13, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To put this to bed I tried to add its location in a non-anachronistic way. nableezy - 15:02, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Nableezy:, the ancient village was destroyed more than a 1000 years ago. It was not depopulated in 1948 - a small pastoral community in the ruins was - but the village was gone before that.--Geshem Bracha (talk) 05:14, 17 October 2021 (UTC) strike sock[reply]

This article covers Khirbat Karraza as well, and the infobox includes material on it. nableezy - 10:10, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, iff this article is to remain as one article (ie include Khirbat Karraza), then at least we should have an -48 village infobox, Huldra (talk) 23:27, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh

User: Liz: what you did here: link; not that I disagree with yours assertment ("Hugely more important ancient town of Chorazin at the site of Arab Kh. Karraza village"), but now there are two completely different settlements turned into one. Is that a good thing? Huqoq and Yaquq comes to mind, cheers, Huldra (talk) 23:44, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I believe there is assumed continuity of settlement at the site? Same as for Huqoq and Yaquq. Or do we think it was depopulated / resettled at some point?

The way I think about the split "Palestinian village" vs "Biblical sites" articles, in situations where it doesn't justify two articles on length alone, is that we should only have two articles if either (a) the biblical site is adjacent to rather than the exact same location as the Palestinian village, or (b) there is some dispute over whether the biblical site is really located there.

Identification of Chorazin: who, when, how? How well accepted?

All we have so far are doubts from the 17th and early 19th centuries! The initial 1st-century town is probably further north from the excavated area, so no more than a guess. However, the identification is usually stated with such certainty that there must be some clear arguments going for it, but which, offered by whom, etc.? Arminden (talk) 14:42, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lightfoot (17th c.!): with all due respect, but does his interpretation stand up to scrutiny? Is "chorasim" = "the wooded country" in 1st-2nd-c. Hebrew? Did anyone support the argument in the last 400 years?

Rotem (BibleWalks) might not be a linguist, but she's a native speaker who usually does her homework, and she writes "source of name may be the root “Karoz” – which means in Hebrew “announcer”". Arminden (talk) 14:44, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2nd synagogue

Possibly: just stones from older, 1st c. synagogue in 2ndary use, with newer syn. built at site of the 1st. Many such stones identified all around newer syn. Surveys and excavations still underway as of 2023 all around the (newer) syn. Arminden (talk) 09:01, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
