Mizpe Yammim, Archaeological sanctuary in Upper Galilee, Israel.

The temple complex at Mizpe Yammim includes a long room measuring 6 by 13.7 meters and an adjacent chamber of 4.8 by 4.4 meters.

During the Persian period from the sixth to fourth centuries BCE, this site marked the eastern boundary of the Phoenician city-state of Tyre territory.

The excavated bronze situla with Phoenician inscriptions and Egyptian deities demonstrates the cultural fusion between local and foreign religious practices at the sanctuary.

The archaeological site sits 12 kilometers southwest of Hazor and 35 kilometers east of Acco, accessible through marked hiking trails in Upper Galilee.

Archaeologists discovered 103 dedicatory objects, including 75 ceramic perfume containers and four bronze votives, revealing details about ancient worship practices.
