Mesillot on the Arnon: An Iron Age (Pre-Roman) Road in Moab

The impressive remains of an ancient road in Moab, which Nelson Glueck saw in an aerial photgraph and thought to be the Roman road crossing the deep gorge of Wadi Mujib from north to south, was discovered recently in Wadi Nukheila, the southern tributary of Wadi Mujib, about 12 km south-southeast of...

520 |a The impressive remains of an ancient road in Moab, which Nelson Glueck saw in an aerial photgraph and thought to be the Roman road crossing the deep gorge of Wadi Mujib from north to south, was discovered recently in Wadi Nukheila, the southern tributary of Wadi Mujib, about 12 km south-southeast of where Glueck identified it. The method by which the road was constructed, the ceramic evidence from the main structure guarding the crossing of the wadi, the route taken by the road, its settlement context in various periods, and the logic of crossing the gorge at this point rather than somewhere else, led us to the far-reaching suggestion that the road is pre-Roman. The road that crosses Wadi Nukheila linked southern Moab, and especially the important site of Balu, with northern Moab during the Iron Age. We should not exclude the possibility that this ancient road was one of the works of King Mesha of Moab, as cited in his stele "And I made HMSLT B'RNN (the highway in the Arnon)."
