Map of the Lower Galilee Region in Ancient Israel
This map includes some of the geographical locations within the ancient Galilee region in Israel. Lower Galilee contained many hills about 2000 feet above sea level, not as large as the northern Galilee region. It comes down sort of like a staircase of large to smaller hills. The valley formed an easy path to the Sea of Galilee, especially to the north side of the Sea where Capernaum was located.The Bible Mentions a lot Concerning "Galilee"
