Talk:Tamra, Jezreel Valley

facts
Claims in this article seem pretty doubtful. SWP II 87-88 says "A village of middling size, perhaps 50 or 70 houses, ..." That's in the 1870s so what's this about being founded in 1918? Tsafir (p239, ref 188226) says "Remains of Byzantine village in Lower Galilee, tombs, two churches. Guerin, Galilee I, pp. 124-125." Guerin, ''Galilee tome 1, 124-125" (who calls it Toumra) has a small chapter on it.  Says it has "120 people at most".  Appears on Zimmermann map of 1850. (Beware, there is at least one other Tamra.)  Arch. summary in Dauphin p734.  Obviously NOT founded in 1918.  Zerotalk 16:26, 27 April 2010 (UTC)


 * As you have seen; I removed it. These articles on Israeli sites (Both Jewish and Arab) are rife with mistakes: take Muqeible..I don´t think it grew up around a Sheiks´s tomb (nothing in Petersen)..I suspect the writer has mixed it up with Muawiya; (present Basma), which did.

Typo
SWP, 1882, p, 130 quotes Guerin, Samarie i, p. 124 for this place. Now that is somewhere on the West Bank: obviously a typo;  for Guerin Galille I, p, 124.

NB: Dauphin gives the correct Guerin-ref. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 20:16, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

pre-Ottoman era
...is presently a mess, and must be ordered, after eras. Also, Tsafrir, Di Segni and Green, 1994, p. 239 says that "remains Byzantine village in Lower Galilee, tombs, two churches" indicate that the churches were from the Byzantine era, alas, as Tepper, 2013 makes clear, they were of later construction. Any protests if I take out any mention of churches in the Byzantine era? Huldra (talk) 21:03, 24 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I think you can favor the more recent publications if they are of similar professional quality. It would also be ok to mention both, making clear the chronological order. Zerotalk 01:36, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
