Bet She'an national park

Israel video tour with David Hyman, Israeli professional tour guide. Join us as we explore the best preserved Roman/Byzantine city in Israel. The town is located on the most important crossroad of the ancient Levant - the meeting point of the Jezreel valley and the Jordan valley and therefore controlling the trade-routes between Egypt and Mesopotamia. First settlers on the Tel date back to the Early bronze period, and since then , twenty layers of civilizations were added one on top of the other, creating the Tel. Bet She'an is mentioned in the Bible when the philistines nailed the dead bodies of King Saul and his sons to the city walls( 1 Samuel 31). During the Helenistic period, the town expended to the foot of the Tel, and became the capital of the region. Our tour today takes us to the top of the Tel to see the views and the ancient Egyptian ruins, then we will explore the highlights of the classic era city: The Theatre, the bathhouse, the colonaded streets, the public bathrooms. Bet She'an was destroyed during a violent earthquake in the year 749 AD and was nevere restored, Therefore earning the title - Israel's Pompey.

Hey my friend, just a little correction if I may on the Inscription Mosaic of Παλλαδιος (ΠΑΛΛΑΔΙΟΣ). The last letter was not an "s" or sigma but rather an Upsilon (Υ or lower case υ) because it is in genitive case (meaning possessive) of the word before it that seems to be an abbreviation. In this way, it is written in the mosaic here as ΠΑΛΛΑΔΙΟΥ.

Great video of a place I have never heard of. It is interesting to see the evidence of Canaanite, Egyptian, Roman and Greek Influences. The weather doesn’t look like Israel. Much Love and blessings.

[@IsraelwithDavidHyman]

So glad that you are enjoying. Spring weather can go both ways in Israel 🇮🇱. Thanks for watching.

[@jesusstudentbrett]

Excellent idea to start with an overview (map pointing out where you will go) and then go see each part. Sooo helpful to put it all in perspective.
