Israelite Gate Exterior 2

View looking north northwest at the approach, from the south (right to left) to the partially reconstructed gate at Lachish.  

One gate upon another was built in this area (left of center), but the current reconstruction reflects what the foundations of the gate might have looked like in the late Judean Monarchy (late 8th to early 6th centuries B.C.).
