The story of Timna Valley is a tale of exploration, conquest, international trade, powerful kings, vast empires, and Biblical legends suddenly come to life.
It is against this spectacular, historically rich backdrop, that in 1959, Timna Valley was catapulted from historical legend to present-day wonderland.
Historically, culturally, and archeologically, the Timna Valley is one of Israel's and the world's treasures, and worthy of the millions of dollars JNF has invested to date - much of that contributed by Milwaukee philanthropist and longtime JNF supporter, Avrum Chudnow.

 Timna: Valley of the Ancient Copper Mines (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Mining activities in the Timna Valley reached a peak during the reign of the Pharaohs of the 14th-12th centuries BCE, when Egyptian mining expeditions, in collaboration with Midianites and local Amalekites, turned the Timna Valley into a large-scale copper industry.
The evidence of a sophisticated Midianite culture, as found in Timna, is of extraordinary importance in the light of the Biblical narrative of the meeting of Moses and Jethro, high priest of Midian, and the latter's participation in the organization and cult of the Children of Israel in the desert.
The survey and excavations at Timna were conducted by B. Rotenberg, on behalf of the `Arava Expedition' under the auspices of the Ha'aretz Museum of Tel Aviv, the Institute of Archeology, Tel Aviv University and (since 1974) the Institute for Archeo-Metallurgical Studies of University College, London.

A number of scholars have suggested that the sudden appearance of 200+ villages, farms and hamlets of stone in the Hill Country of Canaan in Ramesside Iron I is Israel settling the land under Joshua.
Given this, and the troubled history of the Timna temple, if offerings were made there during the 18th dynasty, one would expect only a small proportion of the surviving faience to be of that date.
Some of the beads common at Timna, such as the corrugated sheroids and gadrooned discs, are usually dated to the 18th dynasty...Much of the glass and some of the pottery could date to the late 18th dynasty (1.5.2).

The Timna Valley was first identified as an ancient site of copper extraction and smelting by J. Petherick in 1861.
The remote location was subsequently partly explored and described by A. Musil (1902); thereafter by both F. Frank (1934) and Nelson Glueck (1935), who together reported finding evidence of seven smelting camps with slag heaps without, however, identifying the actual copper mines or deposits which had obviously supplied these camps.

 Will Timna be a 'loss-leader'? - ZDNet UK
Timna's replacement for MTH is a component called a memory protocol translator (MPT), but its design will mean Timna accesses memory more slowly than the Celeron chip, based on the 810 chipset.
Timna will also lack some graphics capabilities found in the 810 chipset, such as the 810's optional display cache, designed to improve 3D rendering.
Timna will debut in desktop PCs in the first quarter of 2001, according to sources.

 PC World - Intel Delays Timna
Intel has announced it will delay the launch of its Timna processor for low-cost PCs from the second half of this year until the first quarter of 2001 while it develops a new interface that lets the chip work with standard SDRAM.
Timna's design, which integrates the processor, graphics chip, and memory controllers onto a single piece of silicon, might help reduce the overall cost of building a PC by as much as $25 for PC manufacturers.
In addition, Timna is unlikely to offer a significant performance boost over a standard Celeron processor used in conjunction with Intel's 810E chip set, which includes an integrated graphics chip, Brookwood says.
