The opening as it read in October 6, 2023
Historical architectural design the levant The temple in antis is an architectural design for temples in Syria and other parts of the Levant (Syria/Lebanon and Israel/Palestine/Jordan) starting in the Early Bronze Age (3500-3000 B.C.E.) and persisting until the Iron Age (1000-586 BCE). The design has a porch formed by extensions, or antae , of the side walls at each side. Arriving from Northern Syria whether from Assyrian or Amorite diffusion, the temples share similar characteristics with some home designs from Anatolia in modern Turkey. Most of the Temples follow similar design plans making it easy to track their spread across the Levant. These temples give a glimpse into the religious practices and urbanization that took place in the Levant during the Bronze and Iron Age. Some examples of some temples in Antis include Solomon's Temple , the Sanctuary of Tell Al-Rawda , and Ain Dara .
