Gilgal and “Going to the Foot”

Standing on the banks of the Jordan River, recalling Israel’s crossing into the Promised Land, we investigate a significant biblical puzzle: the whereabouts of Gilgal.

For hundreds of years, nothing was discovered near Jericho. This changed when archaeologist Adam Zertal found an unusual, ancient construction resembling a foot.

Are we actually at Gilgal? And how is a “foot” relevant to claiming the land?
