The excavations at the biblical Bnei Brak site/Antiquities Authority
Everyone knows the city of Bnei Brak between Ramat Gan, Tel Aviv, Givat Shmuel and Petah Tikva, but the city is named after the biblical Bnei Brak, which used to be located where Ariel Sharon Park is today (Hiriyeh), and is about to be resurrected.
The city is mentioned in the book of Joshua in the inheritance of the tribe of Dan: "For the descent of the children of Dan by their families, the seventh lot came out. And the border of their inheritance was Zerah and Eshtaol, and the city of Shamsh. And Eilon, and Timnatha, and Ekron, and Eltaka, and Gibton, and Balath, and Yehud, and Bnei
-Barak
, and Gath-Rammon, and the waters of the Yarkon , and the raccoon, with the border, in front of Jaffa" (Joshua, 19, m).
Now, as part of the plans to transform the metropolitan park - which covers an area of about 8,000 dunams and is known as one of the largest projects in the world in the field of environmental restoration into a green lung, which combines Heritage and Culture In the center of Gush Dan, the establishment of the "Biblical Bnei Brak" site is planned, which will recreate the history of the ancient village. The site will allow visitors a unique experience of a journey into the past, and will connect them to the roots of the Jewish tradition.

Diggers from the 70s
The first archaeological excavation (rescue excavation) at Tel Bnei Brak, located southwest of the Masovim interchange, was conducted by the Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University in the 1970s, and found artifacts from the Chalcolithic period (4500-3500 BCE) and the Early Persian period (332-539) B.C).
