History
- The Bible places Ai just east of Bethel. The large Early Bronze Age site there is now called At-Tall (also written et-Tell). The name Ai means "the ruin". Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica, "Ai".
- A French team dug there from 1933 to 1935 and found a large temple and other remains from the 3rd millennium B.C. (about 3000 to 2000 B.C.). Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica, "Ai".
- Scholars differ. Life at At-Tall ended about 2500 B.C., with only a short return in the 1100s and 1000s B.C., while the events of Joshua 7 and 8 are usually dated between about 1400 and 1200 B.C. Britannica gives one explanation: early Israelite tradition linked the Canaanite town buried under Bethel with At-Tall. Others look for Ai at another site; see "Other sites proposed". Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica, "Ai".
