Growing up in Canada, most historical sites that one can visit are younger than two hundred years. In the country of Ireland where I was born, it is not unusual to find a site that dates back 1000 years. Today in the land of Israel I stood before a gate that goes back 3800 years.
This gate stood when the patriarchs were still alive. This gate stood when Israel went into Egypt for 400 years.
We tend to be chronological snobs here at the beginning of the 21st century. It is humbling to think that we are just the latest speck on the timeline of history.
