Talk:Nabratein synagogue

History: rewrite!

 * Renewed in C3 means: built earlyer. WHEN? If presented as among Galilee's oldest, this is essential!
 * Based on YNetNews 2007 tourism article, really?

Many refs lack all details (no time, laissez faire/je m'en fiche, or hiding non-RS?).

Not acceptable. Arminden (talk) 13:30, 4 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I don't have access to the 1981 "2nd prelim. report" beyond the 1st page (p. 35), and there Meyers & Co. are listing a C2/3 "Synagogue 1" and a C3-4 "Synagogue 2a + 2b". Nothing on p. 35 about the C6 reconstruction.
 * I also cannot find at first glance anything about a 1st-Temple-period village at Nabratein. Was there one? What are the sources? There are 2 refs at the end of that section: the Jewish Enc. entry contains nothing about 1TP, and for the Reeg book there is no online access indicated - and judging by the title it also only deals with Rabbinic literature, so unlikely to be useful. Mess... I'll separate & place a cn tag there. Arminden (talk) 14:52, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Meyers & al. 1981: "a good deal of ceramic material ... although none associated with structural remains ... EB II-III, Iron II, Persian, Hellenistic, some [page ends here]" on p. 35. No buildings means no village/city so far, maybe seasonal camp or activity near a spring or alike. Who has access? Arminden (talk) 15:04, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Actual Hebrew, Aramaic name
Is Naburiya just a modern misreading by Israeli non-scholars? Navoraya is the name used by researchers. Or is Navoraya the ancient Aramaic name and Naburiya a valid attempt at reconstructing an older Hebrew form, or even a name found in older sources?

Depending on the answer, we might need to rename (move) the page.

Hi David. I can imagine that you might easily have some answers. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 13:58, 4 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Sorry, no need to move, name uses Nabratein, but to rewrite. Arminden (talk) 14:00, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
