Murayghat

Murayghat, in the hills overlooking the Dead Sea, is an Early Bronze cult center. On small hill are numerous menhirs – standing stones – that characterized religious practices in the Levant for millennia. Many of the stones are arranged in rows, circles, and rectangles, and vary in size up to nearly 2 meters in height. Across the dry wadi on a larger hill facing the cult center is a large dolmen field, with many of the dolmens oriented toward the cult center. Unfortunately, many of the dolmens on the surrounding hills are being threatened by the nearby stone quarry.
