What ancient community was perched on the summit of Khirbet Nisya, Israel? Who lived here centuries ago? Who is buried in one of the tombs? Inhabited for more than 3,000 years, traces of an ancient civilization were left behind for archeologists to dig for answers. This book is the result of more than 30 years of research in an attempt to answer these questions. Also includes historical background from the Bible and Jewish literature. (308pp. color illus.
