Dr. Tali Erickson-Gini of the Israel Antiquities Authority just informed us that:
An Analysis of an Archaeological Excavation has Proven for the First Time: Hasmonean Rule Extended South into the Negev Highlands
“The Hasmonean king Alexander Jannaeus, great-grandson of Matityahu, conquered Gaza and the Negev and for decades prevented the Nabataeans from using the Incense Road”
...One of the sites that were excavated was Horvat Ma'agurah, which is located on a ridge, c. 3.4 kilometers west of the Sede Boqer region...It was along this road that the Nabataeans transported precious goods such as myrrh and frankincense to the Mediterranean Sea and Egypt.
