Rujum en-Nabi Shu'ayb (, ; "Stone heap of the prophet Shu'ayb", that is Jethro) or Jethro's Cairn is an ancient megalithic monument, consisting of a crescent shaped heap of field stones, located some 15 kilometers from the Sea of Galilee on a fairly inaccessible hillside below Parod in Northern Israel. It has been measured as in volume and about long, making it visible from satellite photos. Bronze Age pottery excavated at the site dates the construction to between 3050 BCE and 2650 BCE, which would place it before Egypt's pyramids. Read more on Wikipedia
