Pearlman Moshe, Yannai Yaacov. Historical Sites in Israel

Revised Edition. — New York: Simon and Schuster, 1969. — 270 p. — SBN 671-20442-4.This is the first book in English to illustrate and describe all of the most important and beautiful places of antiquity in the oldest part of the world.
The Six Day War in 1967 made it possible for the first time for Israeli archaeologists to bring these historical sites under coordinated and scholarly control and study. From Jerusalem north to Acre and to the Sea of Galilee and south to Massada and Solomon's Mines, here are many of the holiest places in the world for Jews, Christians and Moslems. Besides the eastern parts of Jerusalem itself, such fabled places as Jericho, Qumran, Bethlehem, Hebron and St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai are included here, together with the places that were parts of Israel before 1967.
The pictures in this book show that these sites are remarkable for their beauty as well as for their archaeological and historical importance. At some of these places, like Massada, Caesarea and Hazor, archaeological research is still uncovering new and significant evidence of the way peoples lived here in Biblical times. This book also includes a record of the work currently being done to preserve these monuments of the past for generations to come.
