Chorazin

Chorazin is an ancient Jewish city on the upper shores of the Sea of Galilee.  It is constructed completely of the black basalt stone that is found all over the area.  There were some intricately carved sections of stone, which is apparently very hard to do in black basalt.  Christ said in the New Testament that Chorazin was a wicked place.

Look out in the distance...That's the Sea of Galilee

Inside one of the houses.  The arches held up stone slabs that were the roof.
