Nahal Hever
Nahal Hever is a dry ravine in the Judaean Desert running down to the western shore of the Dead Sea. In its Cave of Letters, excavated by Yigael Yadin in 1960–1961, refugees of the Bar Kokhba revolt left letters from Simon bar Kokhba, legal documents and the private archive of a woman named Babatha, written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Nabataean and Greek.
