Really - who is in charge and does anyone care? The Antiquities Authority's Claim regarding "seized areas from 67" is bogus. What about Jericho? What about Qumran? These areas were fine and even preferred by The IAA. Gilgal isn't much of a tourist attraction though. It's not about to bring busloads of American dollars clinging into the cash registers. But it IS important. It IS an amazing site - worth seeing, recording and even re-excavating. And what an amazing opportunity for school children - to visit and learn first hand what life was like for a small village 11,000 years ago. Not sure who the IAA is trying to fool - but it's not working. Gilgal must be preserved.

Firstly...the Earth was only created approx. 6000 years ago, according to Bibical accounts. Secondly...Gilgal was a very holy place, the place that Israelites stayed for 14 years and set up their Holy Tent (Temple). It is a place where they First stayed in the Promise Land. It is not the first place for mankind to grow food. Just outside the Garden of Eden was...and that is under about 10,000 feet of mud from the World-Wide Flood (Noah's Flood). These so-called great minds just do not read their Bibles. God says these things, but they reject His History for their fancy History. Thirdly...Dr. Prof. Vendyl Jones has located the true Gilgal south of Jericho. His team found the short wall that was around the Holy area where the Holy Tent was located. Do some research folks before you believe these so-called experts. Wake Up! See the truth....it is plainly before your eyes in your own Bible.

I would like to see close up historically accurate maps of the area.
