Ruins of a multi-period agriculture village, dated from the Middle Bronze II to the Early Roman periods, are located in the community of Psagot. The archaeologist who excavated the ruins proposed that these ruins were the location of the Biblical city of Ai – the second city that Joshua.
The archaeological and topographic features indeed match the Biblical description, and the ruins of Khirbet Nisya (Nisieh) are located on a hill, at an altitude of 856m above sea level.
The site has shaded areas and picnic tables and the pool here is a great place to enjoy a refreshing swim during the summer.
