1. Enclose it and make it a national park.

There will be excavations here for decades- so build an enclosure and protect it- from the elements and from thieves.

How many times do we get to rescue an entire ancient city? This is a time machine that will take us back 9,000 years and let us look in on daily life.

Just imagine this site when fully excavated and virtually reconstructed. With 3D virtual reality, we'll be able to walk through a working, living neolithic village. It is simply incredible!

Don't blow this opportunity.

Attention Mr. Adelson, Mr. Blank, Mr. Marcus, Mr. Spielberg, any of you could fund this adventure without blinking an eye, please just do it! Who will take the challenge of bringing a 9,000 year old village back to life? It will be one of the wonders of the modern world.

This is a real working time machine. Let's turn it on and see where it takes us!
2. Near Motza, not "in Motza".

3. So much.......

..... for Israel only excavating sites from the "Jewish period".

Personally I had no idea that settlements could be so large at this time..
4. Impossible for 9000 Year old settlement

God created the earth 6700 years ago so how do you get a 9000 year old settlement... This is fraud and fake news.... or is it possible there is no god who created anything and the religion is the fake news. I gotta wonder who is right, the archaeologists or god
