Where do you think this ancient tomb is? Athens? Rome? Or is
it in Ashkelon? If you guessed the city with the strange name you would be
right.You might be surprised to learn that Ashkelon is the most ancient of the
three. Ashkelon is over 5000 years old
(the agricultural revolution started only 10,000 years ago) making it one of
the oldest cities in the world! Ashkelon was once ruled by nine people, and
each one made their mark in the rich history of that city. So next time you think about going to Athens
or Rome think about Ashkelon in Israel or think about visiting another city
here.
