Achia Kohn-Tavor Dagesh Tourist Archaeology first-hand experience of Holy Land Archaeology

22/10/2026

Forget boring excavations—this is a real-life Indiana Jones adventure deep under the desert!

​120 meters deep, steep underground stairs carved into the mountain, and 7 years of relentless digging. The best part? Even archaeologist Achia and the team still don't know what this tunnel was built for! ⛏️

​Because why visit a story that's already solved when you can dive into a 2,000-year-old mystery?

​Who's brave enough to join our next underground expedition?

Down in the dark, ancient stepped tunnel of Hyrcania, you never know what you might encounter!
​Before descending, we bumped into this massive local resident—the official "Hyrcania Tunnel Guard" 🦂. We gave it its respect, left it in peace, and kept exploring!

Live from Bethsaida, Autumn 2026: Uncovering an 1,800-year-old Roman jar!

19/10/2026

Have you ever seen a priest get this excited over a discovery?
During today's visit to the dig, the group uncovered inscriptions in four different languages that brought him to tears—he even knelt down to kiss the ground.
We missed the moment he knelt on camera, but we definitely caught his excitement.
There's no doubt the treasures of this land are sacred and filled with so much spirit.

You are invited to visit the Land of the Bible, the Holy Land, and walk through it with longing, excitement, and faith alongside archaeologist Achia Kohn-Tavor.

2,000-Year-Old Luxury in Bethsaida!

​What did life actually look like in the 1st century?

During our excavations in Bethsaida, we uncovered a rare multi-nozzle oil lamp made in Jerusalem! With its unique grey tone, detailed decoration, and multiple wicks, this wasn't an ordinary everyday object—it was a high-end luxury item.
​This incredible find shows us that the local inhabitants—including fishermen in the time of Jesus and Peter—weren't all living in poverty. Some of them were actually pretty well-off!

Archaeology always has surprises waiting under the ground.

Pearls from Hana 💎
​There are national holidays, and there are personal and family holidays like birthdays or weddings. But for us, there is another, deeply special holiday: celebrating the excavation season.
​Suddenly, the house is bursting with life, as everyone returns home in its honor. Waking and sleeping hours shift, meals are shared, and a different kind of magic fills the air. It even has its own distinct dress code.
​There is excitement from the wonderful people—both the familiar faces and the new ones joining each season. There is enthusiasm with every discovery and artifact, and a marvelous sudoku of revelation and wonder: what, where, could it be, and if so, how do we piece together all the data, the geographic space, and the unknown.
​How wonderful holidays are! And we are at the very peak of a magnificent one!
​Thank you to our amazing and wonderful team for the partnership, the excitement, and the magical togetherness! You are a force, a treasure, and a huge smile for us, and I believe for everyone participating in the dig. Thank you for being who you are. Blessed are you before God and man.

​עברית:
​פנינים מחנה 💎
​יש חגים לאומיים, ויש חגים אישיים ומשפחתיים כמו יום הולדת או חתונה. אבל אצלנו יש חג נוסף ומיוחד במינו: חגיגת עונת החפירה.
​פתאום הבית רוחש חיים, כולם חוזרים לכבודו. שעות הערות והשינה משתנות, יש ארוחות משותפות, וקסם אחר באוויר. אפילו סגנון לבוש מסוים יש.
​יש התרגשות מהאנשים המופלאים – הקבועים והמשתנים בכל עונה. יש התלהבות מחשיפה ומממצאים, ויש סודוקו מופלא של גילוי ותהייה: על מה, היכן, הייתכן, ואם כן – אז כיצד מחברים את כל המידע, המרחב הגיאוגרפי והלא-נודע.
​כמה טוב זה חגים! ואנחנו בשיאו של חג נפלא!
​ותודה לנבחרת המדהימה והמופלאה שלנו על השותפות, ההתרגשות והביחד המופלא! אתם כוח, ערך וחיוך אדיר לנו, ואני מאמינה שגם לכל המשתתפים בחפירה. תודה עליכם. ברוכים אתם לפני אלוהים ואדם.
