This is an amazing story that the archaeologists have discovered a mystery. It's a perplexing

0:21.3

4,000 year old canonite arch, 9,000 mud bricks used, perfectly preserved, very rare, nothing

0:27.8

like this found, except until done where there was a different kind of an arch dating back

0:32.0

to this period. But what makes this even more interesting is that after excavating and

0:37.0

taking out the dirt, which seems to have been put purposely 4,000 years ago, they found

0:44.2

that there are no rooms, no large spaces, but a single-type passageway, wide enough for

0:49.8

one person, and then it leads into this archway and then nothing. The area then opens up,

1:00.0

but there's no clue as to what the purpose was, and there may have been some cultic purpose,

1:04.1

and I believe that there may be a stairway down, but they can't dig it because there

1:08.8

are other rooms from the bronze age there that they can't, they don't want to destroy,

1:13.8

so they're going to have to dig from the other side and come from on top, down to see

1:18.1

what was underneath, but archaeologists all over the world are just marveling at this remarkable

1:24.3

discovery, and they are looking upon a tell, Shamron, the place where it was found, which

1:31.4

was a hill as a tell, and they had stratified centuries of ancient cities there, and you

1:37.3

can see the different periods of history in this area that played such an important role

1:41.6

on the Bible, the area of Megiddo, which is familiar to Christians, I'm sure, and the city

1:48.1

peaked about 4,000 years ago in the middle bronze age as a candidate city, but continued

1:53.8

to play an important role as mentioned in the Bible in several places.

1:57.2

So this is totally spooky, Indiana, well done, back of tricks is out on the road, I'm John
