Ancient Temple in Israel. In the Ramon crater west of road no. 40 (Eilat -Be'er Shev'a) there is a preserved rectangular open air sanctuary about measuring 10 x 8 Meters delineated by a single row of limestone uprights. It is a typical sanctuary in the Negev, Sinai and Southern Jordan.

It was dated by Dr. Uzi Avner to the 6th to 3rd millennium BCE
