Ancient Ruins at Shiloh


An olive and grape press and holding tank.  The fruit was crushed (upper right side of picture) and the juice would run through the slits into the storage vats

 

One of many almond trees

 

Entrance to a ruin of a Byzantine era church

 

The magen David in ceramic tile of the floor

 

Entering into the main part of the church, we see a footwashing trough in the floor
