Gezer: On the Crossroads of the World
Location
1. Gezer is in the eastern foothills of the coastal plain (Shaphelah) of western Israel. It is about 14 miles (22.5 km.) east of the Mediterranean Sea and about 19 miles (30.5 km.) west of Jerusalem. Tel Aviv sits about 17 miles (27 km.) to the northwest of Gezer.
2. Gezer was on the main north-south travel route called the Via Maris. It was also on a major east-west route that linked the coastal plain to Jerusalem and beyond.
The Via Maris connected three continents, Africa, Asia, and Europe.
This location is significant because Israel forms a narrow land bridge to connect these three continents.
To the east is a desert and to the west is the Mediterranean Sea. This forced trade and travelers to use the Via Maris.
Whatever happened in Israel was taken to the known world at that time.
3. Whoever controlled Gezer, controlled trade and influence in the ancient world in biblical times.
4. God, in His sovereignty, placed Israel on the crossroads of the known world so they could be a light to the world and communicate His message to them.
5. Gezer was in the territory of Ephraim.
Historical Background

6. The Canaanites first lived here from around 3000 BC to around 2000 BC.

8. As a result, the Philistines lived here from around 2000 BC until King David subdued them in around 1000 BC.
9. Gezer existed during the time of Christ.

Water Channel Documentation, Tel Gezer, Israel 2014
This project deals with the documentation of an underground water channel that dates back to the Iron Age. Because of the amorphic shape of the water channel, its documentation presents a challenge for conventional documentation methods. Laser scanning is used for the data acquisition. The site is still under excavation, so further scans can show the progress of the excavation process.

Gezer was a Canaanite City conquered by Joshua and later fortified by King Solomon.
The name of the City Gezer was found on several ancient stone slabs, positively identifying the Biblical City.
The 10 monolith stones (Israel's Stonehenge) may have symbolized a standing stone for each allied tribe and the square stone basin as a place for dripping blood to make the bond during the alliance ceremony.
The Town in the background is Kermei Yosef, famous for its Wine and Olive Oil. The town host's a monthly market.

Gezer, a Biblical City
Aerial photographs and video of the Canaanite and Israelite city of Gezer. The Canaanite city was alloted to the Israelite tribe of Ephraim. Eventually King Solomon fortified Gezer (1 Kings 9:16-17). Today Gezer is a mound of accumulated debris called a tel. Ruins of biblical cities like Gezer are evidence that the Bible is associated in a facts-on-the-ground way with real places, people and events.
