Description

The Wheel of Giants is the modern name given to an enigmatic prehistoric site consisting of an ancient megalithic monument of concentric circles of stone made of 42,000 basalt rocks with a mound of earth and stones in the center. First recorded by nineteenth century scholars, it is located in the Israeli portion of the Golan Heights, about ten miles east of the coast of Lake Tiberias (the Sea of Galilee), in the middle of a large plateau covered with hundreds of stone artifacts from the same period. Archaeologists date this magnificent Wheel of Giants discovery to the Early Bronze Age around five-thousand years ago.
