Bill Schlegel, author of the Satellite Bible Atlas, has just posted a video showing the ascent to Jerusalem from the Shephelah. The 6-minute video uses drone footage to show the modern highway’s route and the new construction. In antiquity, travelers followed the natural routes along the ridges.
Today when we deviate from those ridges, we spend billions to destroy the landscape in the construction of passes, bridges, and tunnels.
For best viewing, change the settings to HD, Full Screen.

On another note, I love this site and have learned many things.
Please keep up the good work?

Howard – thank you!
Great work by Bill! I hope to take our church to Israel again in 2016.
