Beno Rothenberg Answers Query on Midianite Tented Shrine

To the Editor:

I read with interest your report that archaeologist Beno Rothenberg found a “Midianite tented shrine which provides a parallel to the tent shrine of Israel’s desert wandering” Was this Midianite tent preserved for more than 3,000 years? If it wasn’t, how does Rothenberg know a tent shrine was there? And how does he know it was Midianite?

Also would it be possible to print a picture of the gilded snake which he discovered at the same site?

I enjoyed your first issue and wish you much success in this new endeavor.
