The Epic Battle That Stopped the Mongols and Changed History: Ain Jalut In 1260, the Mongols, led by Hulagu Khan, were on a mission to conquer the Middle East. But their quest for domination was met with fierce resistance at the Battle of Ain Jalut. The Mamluks, a military elite made up of former slave soldiers, formed a circular formation called a "ghazwa" and deployed their heavily-armored cavalry at the front to absorb the initial Mongol charge. The Mamluks then counterattacked with their lighter, more agile cavalry, using hit-and-run tactics to wear down the Mongols. The Mamluk infantry, armed with spears, shields, and swords, formed a protective barrier for the cavalry and helped to repel the Mongol cavalry when they tried to break through the Mamluk lines. The Mongols charged toward the Mamluk army with their superior cavalry and mounted archers, trying to break through the Mamluk lines. However, they were unable to overcome the Mamluk defense and were eventually forced to retreat. The battle took place near the Ain Jalut spring in southeastern Galilee, near the site of the present-day city of Beit She'an, Israel. This victory marked the end of the threat of Mongol domination in the region and allowed the Mamluks to establish themselves as the dominant power. The Battle of Ain Jalut is an epic tale of bravery and determination that changed the course of history.

EVIDENCIA DE SELLOS PARA MARCAR ENVÍOS O PRECINTAR HACE 7.000 AÑOS

Arqueólogos de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén han descubierto la primera evidencia del uso de sellos para marcar envíos o para cerrar silos o graneros, datada en 7.000 años.

Se trata de una pequeña impresión de sello de arcilla, con dos sellos geométricos diferentes impresos en ella, descubierta en Tel Tsaf, una aldea prehistórica ubicada en el norte del valle de Beit She'an en Israel.

El descubrimiento se realizó como parte de una excavación que tuvo lugar entre 2004 y 2007 y fue dirigida por el profesor Yosef Garfinkel de HU junto con dos de sus estudiantes, el profesor David Ben Shlomo y el Dr. Michael Freikman, quienes ahora son investigadores de la Universidad de Ariel.

Originalmente se encontraron ciento cincuenta sellados de arcilla en el sitio, uno de los cuales es particularmente raro y de distinta importancia histórica. El objeto fue publicado en la revista Levant.

Los sellos, también conocidos como 'bulla', están hechos de un pequeño trozo de arcilla que se usaba en tiempos históricos para sellar y firmar cartas y para evitar que otros leyeran su contenido.

El sellado encontrado en Tel Tsaf es particularmente significativo porque es la primera evidencia del uso de sellos para marcar envíos o para cerrar silos o graneros. Cuando se abría la puerta de un granero, la impresión del sello se rompía, una señal reveladora de que alguien había estado allí y que el contenido del interior había sido tocado o robado.

"Incluso hoy en día, se utilizan tipos similares de sellado para evitar la manipulación y el robo", explicó Garfinkel. "Resulta que esto ya estaba en uso hace 7.000 años por propietarios de tierras y administradores locales para proteger su propiedad".

Con menos de un centímetro de ancho, el fragmento se encontró en excelentes condiciones debido al clima seco del valle de Beit She'an. El sellado está marcado por líneas simétricas. Si bien muchos sellamientos encontrados en el Primer Templo de Jerusalén (hace unos 2.600 años) incluyen un nombre personal y, a veces, figuras bíblicas, el sello de Tel Tsaf es de una era prehistórica, cuando la escritura aún no estaba en uso.

Esos sellos estaban decorados con formas geométricas en lugar de letras. El hecho de que haya dos sellos diferentes en la impresión del sello puede indicar una forma de actividad comercial en la que dos personas diferentes participaron en la transacción.

El fragmento encontrado se sometió a un análisis exhaustivo antes de que los investigadores pudieran determinar que de hecho se trataba de una impresión de sello. Según Garfinkel, esta es la evidencia más temprana de que los sellos se usaron en Israel hace aproximadamente 7.000 años para firmar entregas y mantener cerrados los almacenes. Si bien se han encontrado focas en esa región que datan de hace 8.500 años, no se han encontrado impresiones de focas de esa época.

Con base en un análisis científico cuidadoso de la arcilla del sello, los investigadores encontraron que no era de origen local, sino que provenía de un lugar al menos a diez kilómetros de distancia.

Otros hallazgos arqueológicos en el sitio revelan evidencia de que los residentes de Tel Tsaf estaban en contacto con poblaciones mucho más allá del antiguo Israel. "En este mismo sitio tenemos evidencia de contacto con pueblos de Mesopotamia, Turquía, Egipto y Caucasia", agregó Garfinkel. "No hay ningún sitio prehistórico en el Medio Oriente que revele evidencia de un comercio a larga distancia de artículos exóticos como lo que encontramos en este sitio en particular".

El sitio también arrojó pistas de que el área era el hogar de personas de considerable riqueza que acumularon grandes almacenes de ingredientes y materiales, lo que indica un considerable desarrollo social. Esta evidencia apunta a Tel Tsaf como una posición clave en la región que sirvió tanto a las comunidades locales como a las personas de paso.

Two Roman busts were found in early December near the Israeli city of Beit She’an by a local resident who spotted the top of one sticking out of the ground as she was walking with her husband.

The couple called the Israel Antiquities Authority Theft Prevention Unit, and inspectors were quickly sent to the site. Together, they unearthed the first bust and found another one right next to it.

It’s not unusual for Israelis out hiking to come across archeological treasures. As ISRAEL21c reported in 2016, even children have stumbled upon relics out in nature.

By law, antiquities belong to the state and may not be hoarded, sold or traded. Those who turn them in to the Israel Antiquities Authority get a certificate of good citizenship, special tours and media attention.

The statues found in Beit She’an, which date to the Late Roman period (3rd–4th centuries CE), were taken to the Israel Antiquities Authority laboratories for preservation.

I live near Beit-She'an (or at least used to, it's complicated)

Being an Israeli:

Me: yeah, so she has a boyfriend who lives near bet-shean, in <name of place>

My mom, half listening: your grandpa established <name of place> with his friends from the army when he was 18, you know that, right?
