Welcome

In 2008, the Beit Lehi Foundation began sponsoring the excavation of one the most significant archaeological sites in Israel. Excavation is but a small part of the discovery process, as each new plot is measured and mapped and each article is cleaned, studied and cataloged.

Our mission is to uncover hidden truth in support of holy writ. Although Beit Lehi adheres to strict standards of archaeology, our motivation is driven by unexplained feelings. The fact the area was ignored and deemed insignificant for hundreds of years and has now blossomed into the largest previously unknown community of settlements ever found in Israel, is confirmation that those feelings are well-founded.

Paraphrasing the remarks uttered by a prominiet member of the LDS Church following his visit to the site: There is something significant here. Whether connected to the Bible or Book of Mormon or both, I am not sure, just that the site is significant.

What we have discovered, although significant, is small compared to what is yet to be uncovered. With less than 20% of the site excavated, the greatest discoveries are yet to be made. There is no shortage of known places to excavate, just the time and resources to make it happen. Every excavation validates or rewrites some facet of ancient history.

We invite you to enjoy and experience Beit Lehi as never before and hope it awakens fond recollections of your visit or a desire to visit, or even excavate at this site tucked away in the holy land.
