The basalt boulders are remains of the walls of a massive fortress from the time of King David and King Solomon. These were destroyed in a raging fire during the military campaign of King Shishak of Egypt in the region five years after Solomon died.I have a piece of broken pottery from this site as well as a nearby site that dates back to Abraham. This location is at Bet She’an ruins just south of Galilee a/k/a later as the site of Decapolis.
