"Fortified Cities Up Above The Palm Tree" - At the Gates of the Citadel

[rephaim23]

The Anakim might be mentioned in the Egyptian Execration texts of 1800 BC. This text lists a people in central Canaan called ly-Anaq (People of Anaq). Their rulers were: Erum, Abiyam, and Akirum.

These people of Anaq have remarkable similarities to the sons of Anak mentioned in the Bible. And in the original Hebrew, Anak is spelled with a Q, as in Anaq, or Onaq.

@rephaim23 The Citadel of Jerusalem, one of the most significant landmarks, the formidable fortress, centre of power and governance of Jerusalem until the 20th century...but one can understand the motives behind the re-naming of the Citadel as “Tower of David.” Nearly millennium known by its Arabic name, al-Qal’a whether contemporary literary sources or by the local Palestinian of Jerusalem, gives visitors an incorrect impression of its real history, creates unjustified misconceptions..
