Archaeologists have announced the discovery of a highly developed site that is approximately 9,000 years old, a find that could change the history of the Middle East.
Located 3 miles west of Jerusalem, near the town of Motza, this stone age site measures about a third of a mile in length and is thought to have been home to 2,000 to 3,000 people in pre-history. The size of the site is extraordinary for the stone age and it would have been regarded as a metropolis.
The settlement was located in a fertile valley that has been continuously inhabited for 20,000 years but until now, it was believed that there was never any major settlement in the Neolithic era. Watch the video to learn more about this exciting discovery that is sure to re-write history.
