Tell Hum (1858)

Submitted by scott on

TELL Hum, the ancient Chorazin, To explore these interesting ruins during spring is no easy task. No trodden path leads to them. The Arabs seem to avoid them. Thickets of thistles as tall as a man on horseback, and so dense that no horse can break through them, encompass and cover the whole site. 3 or 4 Arabs with their clubs are required to open a passage from ruin to ruin. The ruins lie close upon the shore, and are here and there washed by the waves. They cover a level tract about ½ m.
