Bayit VeGan ((ヘブライ語:בית וגן), lit. ''House and Garden'') is a neighborhood in southwest Jerusalem, Israel. Bayit VeGan is located to the east of Mount Herzl and borders the neighborhoods of Kiryat Hayovel and Givat Mordechai. ==History== A 4,000-year-old cemetery and many Canaanite artifacts were discovered in an archeological dig at the edge of Bayit Vegan. The cemetery covers an area of more than half an acre (0.2 hectare), and burials are believed to have taken place there mainly in the Bronze Age, in 2200-2000 BCE and 1700-1600 BCE.〔(4,000-Year-Old Tombs Found Near Jerusalem Mall )〕 Excavations began in 1995 but the most interesting finds were discovered in 2005.〔(Dig at Jerusalem's infamous Holyland Hill uncovers bronze-age dwellings )〕 During the British Mandate, the army built one of its radar stations in Bayit VeGan. A synagogue, Beit Knesset Migdal ("The Tower"), now stands on the spot.〔( Migdal Synagogue )〕 Bayit VeGan was the third neighborhood built in West Jerusalem in modern times.〔"Shekhunat Bayit Vegan," Itzik Shweiki, Yarok Beyerushalim, Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel, 2007, p.20 ,〕 A scale-model of the Second Temple designed by Prof. Michael Avi Yonah based on the writings of the Roman Jewish historian Josephus, was located for many years on the grounds of the Holyland Hotel in Bayit Vegan. In 2007, it was moved to the Israel Museum.〔"Shekhunat Bayit Vegan," Itzik Shweiki, Yarok Beyerushalayim, Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel, 2007, p.20 ,〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bayit VeGan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
