Khirbet Rizqeh
Khirbet Rizqeh submitted by motist : Khirbet Rizqeh monolith (Vote or comment on this photo)
Khirbet Rizkeh is situated south of the well known Wadi Rum in south Jordan . In the 60's of the 20Th century a British archaeologist the late Mrs. Diana Kirkbride PhD. excavated an open air sanctuary with big monoliths , flint tools ,Ground stone tools and "miracle bowls" dated to the late Neolithic era.

Khirbet Rizqeh, is a unique ritual site in the desert east of Aqaba. At Rizqeh such vessels appear in great number (Kirkbride 1969). One of these vessels has been called "miracle bowl", since one fragment was found when the site was discovered, and a second, joining part five months later in the mountains (Kirkbride 1969,192).

Dr. Uzi Avner and I visited the site in June 2006 and found that not much left as the carved monoliths been removed in the 60's and it is stored in the Rockefeller museum in Jerusalem.

For more about Mrs. D. Kirkbride PhD. see her obituary.
