Megiddo in the Third Millennium BCE

Megiddo has provided some of the most iconic architecture for the Early Bronze Age Levant, including the well-known Stratum XIX broad-room temple complex and the large round altar of Stratum XVII–XVI, both excavated by the Oriental Institute team in the 1930s. The Tel Aviv University Megiddo Expedition was able to add the Great Temple of the EB I, the largest and most monumental structure of its period in all of the Levant, even rivaling contemporary structures in Egypt and Mesopotamia. This article traces the developments at Megiddo from the end of the fourth millennium to the end of the third, from a temple-centered to a palace-centered society and back again
