Abeas Biblical Farmhouse

[Abea]

I just finished a replica of a Bible times Farmhouse. Turned out pretty cool if I say so myself.

Here's a picture I followed:

It's a reconstruction of a 1st century farmhouse complex with oven and olive press (upper right); the courtyard and roof are clearly work areas;
the roof has a shaded work space and separate areas for drying flax, farm produce, etc.

Here's a picture of my replication. Which I could add the little things like bowls and stuff, but I did my best. Enjoy!

Similar angle as the picture:

Different angle from the picture:

That's a fun idea! It looks nice, Abea. I'll have to swing by and see it in "person." I wonder if you could build the walls out of cobblestone for a closer match? Sand inside would be just right, though.

Have you found a Biblical-era town picture we could work cooperatively on?

Edit: Oh, I just noticed your picture shows Sandstone walls. Nice.

Thanks Josh.

I'm figuring given the region that sandstone is probably as close to the real deal as we can get in minecraft.

Here's some model houses from Jesus's time: http://www.visualbiblealive.com/stock_image.php?id=78920

Soka is planning to build Solomons temple - so that is out.

Here's some layouts of Jerusalem: http://www.bible-archaeology.info/jerusalem.htm

Here's a really good one of Herods Temple http://www.templemount.org/secondtmp.html - We could probably do this one.

Or we could do Ezekiels temple http://www.sonstoglory.com/ThirdTempleEzekielsMillennialTemple.htm - VERY detailed information here - WANT TO DO THIS ONE?

Oh, and who is we? I don't know who Josh is in game. lol --- Edit: I squinted and saw down in the fine print that you are Lost. lol Old eyes and all, ya know.
