    I do no agree that these were "animal traps" because if you study them extensively you will notice that the trap walls of some of the kite intersect and if animals were able to follow a path due to the walls they would never make it to the trap. But that is the only knowledge we have, so I would suggest we approach the function of these structures as being much more than animal traps.

    Isay , or isau , is a pre existant name indeed , it is in the bible , the name of the first son abharam is Esau and it is written and pronounced in aramaic عيسو Isay is an other prononciation of that same name. And why should we go this far by supposing that those "arabs" changed the name to a prexisting one , knowing that prexisting name pre exited in the aramaic people too , but still the aramaic call him ishua not 'issou The simpliest conclusion should be that either this name was ishou' يشوع and was reversed to عيشو Or the other way around And this us a well known languastic phenomena , to reverse the word Just like eich or eith إيش ، إيث in aramaic that became شي in arabic , both of them means "existing thing" ...

    My son and I visited Umm el-Jimal for the first time last year on our way out to Jawa and it was one of the most amazing sites we've ever experienced. When we walked around the corner into the front door of the double church, and saw the mosaic floor, my 23 year old son was moved nearly to tears. The site is so big and dense, we both agreed that on our next trip we will set aside at least two full days for Umm el-Jimal.

    Wonderful, important work. Please note, commenting as a local historian now, not as an archaeologist, Jack equalized the current horrific Syrian displacement and refugees with 1948. The Arab leadership of that time encouraged tens of thousands of resident to leave their homes so they could fight the Jews, and then used the displaced people as a political football to pressure Israel-and blacken its image- successfully to this day, obviously- , not allowing regular absorption into society, not allowing buildings to be built for them to live normally, and this deliberate use of helpless people was recognized already in the 1950s. A tragedy happened yesterday in northern Israel where 100K people traveled to an religious event, infrastructure collapsed wiht fatal results, and Arab towns and individuals all around in the middle of the night invited, tweeted, facebooked, Jews to come stay with them and recover from the trauma. That is Israel, building bonds people to people.

      They are contemporary but Egyptian. Wikipedia says that Egypt was the southern neighbor on Nabataea. He is drawing similarities in the styles of the region and earlier asserted that appearance was more about the time and place you lived than your religion. Since cultures in close contact influence each other, as he showed earlier, he believes that the Egyptian portraits may give us a very good idea of what their neighboring Nabateans looked like, and even the Arab fresco is quite similar looking to the Egyptian portraits.

    In the Quran it is mention that Allah redeemed Jesus. i.e. he took him up to heavens. So, I think may be the correct translation for Issa (عيسى) would be "the redeemed" instead of "the redeemer" as prof. Ahmed suggested. The Quran did not arabize the name of Jesus as Yassoo (يسوع) becuse it means in Arabic (to miss or to lose) which is opposite to the Islamic beliefs about Jesus.

      @@stevenv6463 It has been nine months since I listen to this fascinating lecture, but as I remember Dr. Ahmad mentioned that this name (Issa عيسى) came from other semitic language (I think abyssinian language) not Arabic. on the other hand, (Yassoo يسوع) is obviously Arabic. It is the Arabic name that Christian Arabs adopt for Jesus. They actually just changed the (Sh ش) sound used in the hebrew name of Jesus (Yahosho يهوشوع יְהוֹשֻׁעַ) to (S س ) sound which resulted in (Yassoo يسوع). They fabricate this name to avoid using the Islamic version of the name of Jesus, which I believe it is wrong Arabization and I explained earlier why it is wrong.

I found out that Tabari also mentions that Eesah predates the crucified JC, who he calls Ishu Ben Fandura. According to him he lived around 300 BCE & is buried in a hill in Hijaz somewhere. I think the Quran is pretty assertive that they got the wrong guy which is often interpreted as substitution (Judas the betrayer being crucified in his place). The elephant in the room though is the lineage of Mariam, daughter of Imran & sister of Harun.
