Sacred Area Temple (Labeled)

View of one of the three Early Bronze Age temples at Megiddo. Note on the left a portion of the circular altar is visible [#6]. The four walls of the temple are # 4, 7, 8, and 9. Doorway, #5, is on the broad wall of the temple and as one entered one faced the raised altar (1) in the front. A flight of stairs (2) led up to the altar. Columns that supported the roof were placed on the large flat stones (3a and 3b). There actually was a courtyard to the north [right] of the temple – which is to the right of # 4 and 5.
