Talk:Tel Dothan

Is it a mountain? Is it a hill? No!  It's ...
Please tell us what it is! Is it a mountain? A hill? A river? "It was located" is not helpful if we don't know what kind of (presumably geographic) feature it describes. --Improv 07:54, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Location
Quote: "and about 100 km north of Hebron" Wouldn't that make it 70 km North of Jerusalem? Maikel (talk) 09:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Agreed location
The article was messed up. It contradicted itself.
 * "...was a city located at north of Shechem, and about 100 km north of Hebron. (correct)
 * "It was known to Eusebius, who places it 12 miles to the north of Sebaste." (correct)
 * "It is identified with the modern Tell-Dothan, on the south side of the plain of Jezreel, among the hills of Gilboa." (incorrect, inconsistent) (based on a book by Edward Robinson from 1860, yes, 1 8 6 0)

I have edited the article to agree with modern archeological scholarship with references and have inserted map coordinates. I didn't think that Robinson's 150 year old mistaken location needed to remain in the article. --@Efrat (talk) 06:50, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
