In this on-site interview, *Dr. Shay Bar* presents a fascinating Hasmonean-period structure dated to around *70 BC**, located at **Khirbet Siya* in the Jordan Valley.
Unlike a fortress or military outpost, this site functioned as a *roadside waystation* — a stopping point for travelers, soldiers, and officials making their ascent toward the Hasmonean desert stronghold of *Alexandrion* on Mount Sartaba.
The structure sheds new light on:
The *road system* connecting the Jordan Valley to Hasmonean desert fortresses
The *logistics of movement* during the late Second Temple period
How geography, security, and administration shaped travel in Judea over 2,000 years ago
Filmed on location, this conversation combines archaeology, topography, and historical context to reveal how even modest structures played a vital role in the Hasmonean landscape.
📍 Location: Khirbet Siya
📅 Period: Hasmonean era, c. 70 BC
