Daughters of Jacob Bridge ( he, גשר בנות יעקב, ''Gesher Bnot Ya'akov''; ar, جسر بنات يعقوب, ''Jisr Benat Ya'kub''). is a bridge that spans the last natural ford of the Jordan at the southern end of the Hula Basin between the Korazim Plateau and the Golan Heights. It has been a crossing point for thousands of years. The Crusaders called the site ''Jacob's Ford''. The medieval bridge was replaced in 1934 by a modern bridge further south during the draining of Lake Hula by the Palestine Land Development Company.Sufian, 2008, pp165ff Located southwest of the bridge are the remains of a Crusader castle known as ''Chastellet'' and east of the bridge are the remains of a Mamluk khan ( caravanserai). The bridge is now part of Highway 91 and straddles the border between the Galilee and the Golan Heights (which was annexed by Israel in 1981). It is of strategic military significance as it is one of the few fixed crossing points over the upper Jordan River that e ...

Spelt
Spelt (''Triticum spelta''), also known as dinkel wheat or hulled wheat, is a species of wheat that has been cultivated since approximately 5000 BC. Spelt was an important staple food in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age to medieval times. Now it survives as a relict crop in Central Europe and northern Spain, and it has found a new market as a health food. Spelt is sometimes considered a subspecies of the closely related species common wheat (''Triticum aestivum''), in which case its botanical name is considered to be ''Triticum aestivum'' subsp. ''spelta''. Like common wheat, it is a hexaploid wheat, which means it has six sets of chromosomes. Evolution Spelt has a complex history. It is a wheat species known from genetic evidence to have originated as a naturally occurring hybrid of a domesticated tetraploid wheat such as emmer wheat and the wild goat-grass '' Aegilops tauschii''. Genetic evidence shows that spelt wheat can also arise as the result of the hybridisation ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Petroleum Road
''For the Saudi Road see: Trans-Arabian_Pipeline#Tapline_Road'' The Petroleum Road or Tapline Road (Hebrew: כביש הנפט, ''Kvish HaNeft'') is a privately owned north–south asphalt road in the Golan Heights. It is long. It begins near Mount Peres on the east edge of the central Golan, and ends in the northern Golan near the Israeli-occupied Golan-Lebanese frontier, nearby Ghajar. Most of the road is marked on maps as inaccessible to traffic because of poor road quality.The Hebrew guide מדריך כרטא, (''Madrikh Karta''), by Azaria Alon, , uses the term כביש משובש ("broken road") for the entire route. Another map, published by ''Mapa'' (http://www.mapa.co.il) in 2001, uses a similar term for the portion between Highway 91 and Route 959. The name ''Petroleum Road'' derives from the now defunct oil pipeline of the Trans-Arabian Pipeline Company, which the road runs adjacent to. The ''Tapline'', as it is abbreviated, originated in the oil fields of Saudi Ara ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
