Tel Gezer is a beautiful and amazing place, full of history and different types of civilizations. Tel Gezer is definitely a historic landmark for Israel since the Canaanites established one of the cities there. While in Tel Gezer we learned about the rich culture and importance of the location. Many civilizations need water, food, defense, and some way of trade. In this area, the Canaanites were able to get all of these resources.
In our class we learned the 4 D's. Dinner, drink, dollars, and defense. One of the major intersections near Tel Gezer is the highway 1 and 6 intersection. Many years ago the people would use that road as means of trade and travel from Mesopotamia and Egypt. It was called Derech Hiyam. This was one of our many experiences on EIE and many more to come, so Tel Gezer I said hi!
