(from wikipedia)
Dagon or Dagan is an ancient Mesopotamian and Canaanite deity. He appears to have been worshipped as a fertility god in Ebla, Assyria, Ugarit, and among the Amorites.
A long-standing association with a Canaanite word for "fish" (as in Hebrew: "dag"), perhaps going back to the Iron Age, has led to an interpretation as a "fish-god", and the association of "merman" motifs in Assyrian art (such as the "Dagon" relief found by Austen Henry Layard in the 1840s). The god's name derives from the root *dgn 'to be cloudy', implying that he was originally a weather-god. His being associated with clouds, and thus with rain indicates his strong role as an agricultural god.The Hebrew Bible mentions him as the national god of the Philistines with temples at Ashdod and elsewhere in Gaza.
The "DAGON" Grain Warehouse (silo)
Dagon Silos are the grain port terminal of the State of Israel and their center is located in Plummer Square, at the corner of "Independence Road" on the western side of the port of Haifa with a branch in the port of Ashdod. About 75% of all grain imports (about 3 million tons of grain) are imported to Israel each year through these silos, including wheat, corn, soybeans, barley, sorghum and more. The grains are unloaded from the ships at a designated wharf in the port next to the silos, transported in conveyors to the silo structure, where they are delivered according to the instructions of the grain importers for trucks and railcars that transport the grains around the country.
The Structure
The structure of the silos, designed by architect Joseph Clarwin, rises to a height of 65 meters, and has about 200 compartments for storing grain kernels. The storage capacity of the silos is about 85,000 tons. on the south side of the building The Dagon Museum was established, which is an archeological museum of the history of grain harvesting in the Land of Israel in ancient times.
According to a partial national outline plan for the shores of Haifa and Tirat Carmel - NAP 3/13 the area on which the grain terminal is built is expected to be an urban seafront and the silos are expected to be moved to another location, although no planning has begun and there is no known deadline
The Museum
The Dagon Museum is a museum dedicated to the history of grain and its products. The museum is located in the office building in Plummer Square, at the eastern entrance to Dagon Silos in Haifa. Most of the museum's collection is dedicated to archeological finds from the Land of Israel and its neighbors. In the museum there is a section dedicated to the work process of the silos using models of cranes and devices.
The beginning of the museum is with the collection of Reuven Hecht. Over the years, exhibits borrowed from the Antiquities Authority have been added to it. The museum was opened in 1955 and in 1966 received official status on behalf of the International Museum Council.
*Unfortunately, due to covid-19 the museum is closed - but hopefully it will reopen.
