[edit]DescriptionThe town of Tiberias as seen from the southern slope.03093.019.JPG |
English: The town of Tiberias as seen from the southern slope. Turkish tents have been pitched outside the broken city walls, a truck and storage drums can be seen near the waters edge. Tiberias is nestled on the western shore of Lake Tiberias (or Lake Galilee) and was founded in the 18th century by Herod Antipas, who named it after the Emperor of Rome, Tiberias. In 1837 an earthquake destroyed sections of the city wall. In recent times Tiberias has grown outside the city walls and along the shore. One of a series of photographs showing local people and the activities of German and Turkish soldiers. The photographs are believed to have been purchased by Australian soldiers whilst serving in Egypt and Palestine during the First World War. |
