replies: text: It is Judean Mountains. The Judean hills, i.e. the foothills, is a region BELOW the mountians, intermediarry to the coastal lowlands. Anyone who has ever visited Israel will knwo the ecology and agricultural differences of the three regions is very distinct. The application of hills to mountains runs against the scientific evidence that the range is created by the fold which resulted from the tectonic forces which created the Jordan Valley Rift. Every definition of mountains reflects this. Sure these are low mountains i.e. sub-alpine. Crock81 (talk) 06:46, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Redirect for "Judaean mountains" needed 

message: One keeps on bumping into this problem. See for instance here, the original Hebrew caption places Modi'in in the hills of Samaria, which I believe to be wrong. Ramallah can probably be used as a boundary point (see Samaria art., quoting Britannica), but one point doesn't define even a straight line, let alone a geographical boundary, which seldom follows a straight longitudinal line, especially not in an area consisting of hills and valleys. Plus the boundary possibly shifted, so it has to be also pinned to a specific historical period and clear definition of what we're talking about. As of now we have Josephus with Anuath and Borceos as border locations (see quotation at Samaria#Roman-period definition), and on enWiki only As-Sawiya makes reference to them - but this identification is 19th-century (Charles Wilson's) and probably wrong, as As-Sawiya is too far north, closer to Nablus than to Ramallah, and would imply a tiny Samaria.

thread_title:  We need the boundary to Samaria 

message: "The westward descent ... is by way of a longitudinal trough." And to the east it falls to the rift valley. Really?
A mountain range tens of km long with a descent by way of a trough? One more miracle of the Holy Land.
To the east of the Judaean Hills is the Judaean desert. The Judaean desert reaches the rift valley. That's the convention that separates the hills from the desert. Ridge + W slopes = Judaean Hills, E slopes = Judaean desert. Arminden (talk) 22:45, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
