The city was destroyed in 2600 B.C., then resettled in the Middle Bronze Age (1750-1650 B.C). The new walls of the Middle Bronze period city followed the earlier city walls. The stones used for constructing the walls were gigantic, earning the name "Cyclopean wall" (wall of the giants, named after the Biblical "Anak"s of Hebron) www.biblewalks.com/Sites/Hebron.html
