Ako je verovati biblijskim tekstovima, upravo je ovde, u IX veku PNE prorok Ilija navodno imao nekoliko susreta sa anđelima i sa Bogom... kom prilikom je dobio proročka upozorenja o suši i kataklizmi.
According to Bible texts, it was here, in the ninth century BC, that the prophet Elijah reportedly had several encounters with both angels and God... during which he was given prophetic warnings of drought and cataclysm.
