“Shocking Discoveries: Ancient Burial Site in Israel Reveals Dark Secrets of Human Trafficking”
Israel Antiquities AuthorityArchaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority excavating the ancient burial site.
“The tombs are not found near any sites, settlements or fortresses that could explain their presence so that they are thought to be a mystery,” stated the researchers. “However, it should be noted that they are situated at a central junction of roads leading through the Negev Highlands to the Arava. It appears that the remains are related to the traders from southern Arabia who were known for their long-distance journeys and who traded, among other things, incense such as frankincense and myrrh. Naturally, these journeys would have taken months under difficult circumstances such as climate, the danger of raiders and other challenges.”
Regardless of how the site came to be, archaeologists have emphasized how unique it is, and they hope that future research will shed even more light on the mysteries they’ve uncovered.
