This is the greatest discovery ever from the New Age of Stone in Israel and Levant where, according to archaeologists, they lived between 2,000 and 3,000 inhabitants, which is like today's largest city and can then be considered a metropolis.
The remains of the settlement have been discovered only a few inches below the surface of the site near the town of Motza, and are considered a turning point in the research of prehistoric settlements due to well-guarded size and objects.
Residents of that time have been busy hunting, livestock, especially raising sheep and developing agriculture.
Archaeologists found thousands of arrows, knives, jewelry, and tiny stone bracelets, perhaps worn by children.
“Thousands of years before the pyramid was built in the Nepolitical period, more residents lived in permanent settlements. They were more or less involved in agriculture, “explains one of the archaeologists Jacob Ward.
Archaeologists also found the remains of large buildings, public halls and prayer sites, and narrow roads showing that the building's planning was high.
