Chorazin, Korazim, Chorizim, Korazin, a village in northern Galilee, near Capernaum on a hill above the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee.ancient synagogue Bethsaida and Capernaum, New Testament gospels of Matthew and Luke.the Q document.Jewish fishermen .mikvah, ritual bath.large Jewish settlement.

Description

Children from a local school on an annual archeological dig as part of their extra curricular activities Korazim is now the site of a National Archaeological Park.Extensive excavations and a survey were carried out at in 1962-1964. Excavations at the site were resumed in 1980-1987. The site is an excavated ruin today, but was inhabited starting in the 1st century. The majority of the structures are made from black basalt, a volcanic rock found locally. The main settlement dates to the 3rd and 4th centuries. A mikvah, or ritual bath, was also found at the site. The handful of olive millstones used in olive oil extraction found suggest a reliance on the olive for economic purposes, like a number of other villages in ancient Galilee. The large, impressive Synagogue which was built with black basalt stones and decorated with Jewish motifs is the most striking survival. Close by is a ritual bath, surrounded by public and residential buildings. The synagogue was built in the late 3rd century, destroyed in the 4th century, and rebuilt in the 6th century. An unusual feature in an ancient synagogue is the presence of three-dimensional sculpture,images of wine-making, animals, a Medusa, an armed soldier, and an eagle.

Description

Korazim is now the site of a National Archaeological Park.Extensive excavations and a survey were carried out at in 1962-1964. Excavations at the site were resumed in 1980-1987. The site is an excavated ruin today, but was inhabited starting in the 1st century. The majority of the structures are made from black basalt, a volcanic rock found locally. The main settlement dates to the 3rd and 4th centuries. A mikvah, or ritual bath, was also found at the site. The handful of olive millstones used in olive oil extraction found suggest a reliance on the olive for economic purposes, like a number of other villages in ancient Galilee. The large, impressive Synagogue which was built with black basalt stones and decorated with Jewish motifs is the most striking survival. Close by is a ritual bath, surrounded by public and residential buildings. The synagogue was built in the late 3rd century, destroyed in the 4th century, and rebuilt in the 6th century. An unusual feature in an ancient synagogue is the presence of three-dimensional sculpture,images of wine-making, animals, a Medusa, an armed soldier, and an eagle.
