Horvat ‘Ethri

Although online for some time, Horvat ‘Ethri has been updated with an introduction and new VR movies. Horvat ‘Ethri is a small Judean village in the upper Shephelah that presents a good picture of Judean life from the period of the two Judean revolts. Hidden beneath the typical courtyard-style houses are caverns cut into the bedrock that were used as hiding places during the revolts. The site also includes a public building that has been interpreted as an early example of a synagogue.
