In this episode, we delve into the fascinating history of Azekah's Canaanite Temple, primarily based on an article from Biblical Archaeology Review. The temple, located in the Judean foothills, dates back to the 13th century BC during the Egyptian New Kingdom. We explore its strategic location, its architectural evolution, and its significance in the cultural and economic networks of the time. The episode also covers the dramatic fall of the temple around
1177 BC during the Bronze Age Collapse, shedding light on the potential causes of this civilization’s decline.
