| Sumario: | Abstract: This article makes a reassessment of the evidence concerning the practice of
sacred travels (pilgrimage) in the arid southern Levant and northern Arabia in the
first mill. BCE/CE, exploring their relationship with the biblical wilderness sojourn
traditions. Sacred travels constituted a significant element in the religious and afterlife
world of the local peoples, for whom the (re-)visiting and (re-)construction of
ancient sacred places were common. The evidence will be analyzed taking an
interdisciplinary approach, focusing on the archaeological and epigraphical signatures
of pilgrimage. A longue durée approximation will allow to see how the
diverse traditions related to the wilderness sojourn were adopted, re-appropriated
and re-configured in meaningful ways through time. |
