About Mount Precipice

Mount Precipice, also referred to as Mount of Precipitation, Mount of the Leap of the Lord and Mount Kedumim is positioned simply outdoor the southern fringe of Nazareth, 2.0 km southwest of the modern metropolis center.It is assumed by way of a few to be the web site of the Rejection of Jesus described inside the Gospel of Luke. According to the story, the humans of Nazareth, not accepting Jesus as Messiah attempted to push him from the mountain, but "he surpassed via the midst of them and went away."

Archaeological excavations inside the Qafzeh Cave in the mountain determined human stays, whose estimated age is 100,000 years antique. The human skeletons have been associated with crimson ochre which become located best along the bones, suggesting that the burials had been symbolic in nature. Previous to this discovery, scientists believed that human symbolic reasoning advanced an awful lot later, approximately 50,000 years ago. During the twentieth century the mountain was used as a quarry, now abandoned. Highway 60 is going through a tunnel dug in the mountain within the web page of the vintage quarry, connecting Afula and Jezreel Valley directly to Nazareth.
