Summary[edit]

Description
English: Black piles of slag define Khirbat en-Nahas, a copper mining and smelting site, which is annotated at top left in this image. It is not so unusual that a copper mine should show up in a satellite image, but Khirbat en-Nahas is remarkable because it was built some 3,000 years ago. The faint square on the northern edge of the site is an Iron Age fortress.
Afrikaans: Swart slakhope, die byproduk van koperekstraksie, definieer die antieke Khirbat en-Nahas, geleë op 'n wadioewer suid van die Dooie See in Jordanië (met 'n annotasie links bo aangedui). Dit is nie so ongewoon dat 'n kopermyn en -smeltaanlegte op 'n satellietfoto uitstaan nie, maar Khirbat en-Nahas is besonders omdat dit na sowat 1000 v.C. dateer. Die vae diamantvorm aan die noordelike rand van die gebied is 'n ystertydperkse fortifikasie.
