Beit She'an National Park
Beit She'an National Park is an impressive archeological site, which preserves the antiquities of one of the most ancient and important cities in Israel. The site includes the ancient high mound of the biblical Beit She'an, from which one can see the landscape of Beit She'an Valley, the city of Beit She'an and the archeological digs revealing the various periods in this city's history. One of the most impressive finds in the National Park complex is the magnificent Roman Theater, which had 7,000 seats. This Roman period built Theater is impressively well-preserved. The National Park also includes the Byzantine period's Bathhouse, the main Colonnade Street, the amphitheater which served for Gladiator fights, a Roman Temple and an ancient fountain. In addition, one can view here a spectacular audio-visual presentation, which is displayed on the pillars, mound and walls of this ancient site and tells about the fascinating development of the city of Beit She'an throughout the ages.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.

גן לאומי בית שאן Beit She'an Bet She'an National Park Where an earthquake stopped time
Beit Shean park seems a bit overwhelming at first glance and in the summer it can be very hot as the city lies in the low-lying valley like a frying pan.
The first site along the route is the huge theatre, built around 200 CE. Although the middle tier has been robbed, and the upper tier has blown off altogether, the preservation is impressive. There used to be seats for 7000 spectators. A stairway on the east side gave access to the theatre for VIPs, and besides that there are 8 other entrances for the common folk. The theatre stayed in use until the Byzantine era. At the foot of the VIP stairs are a Roman temple and a fountain house.
At the back of the theatre, across the street, lie the remains of the biggest Byzantine bath in Israel. They show that exercise madness is from all times: there was a huge colonnaded gym which looked like a temple with swimming pools and heated halls to extract sweat from the body on three sides. The northern rooms were unheated and used for socialising. A monumental entrance leads out to the street.
At the northeast corner of the bathhouse there used to be a small Roman tfor musical perfo. However a later Byzantine building is partly built on top of it, and thereby destroyed it. The Byzantine construction is built in a semicircle consisting of an open market with separate rooms (for shops probably), each of which contains a mosaic. One of the rooms holds a marvellous mosaic of Tyche, the Roman goddess of good fortune. Her crown is a walled city (Scythopolis) and in her hand she holds the horn of plenty, full to the brim with riches. In some of the other rooms archaeologists were busy working during our visit. They are not digging for deeper layers, but restoring the mosaics in its original appearance. In the future there should more to see here.
Outside we step onto the main street of the city. It is paved with basalt slabs, in the middle, flagstones cover a drain. On both sides of the street are sidewalks. Along the western side of the street were shops. Leading to the Tel, the street winded along the whole Tel (this cannot be seen today).
At the Tel, stairs led up to the temple of Zeus, which stood at the summit. The remains at the corner of the street are of the temple of Dionysos, the city's patron god. It had four columns of 10 meter high which supported a triangular stone. Inside steps lead up to the temple itself which rests on a podium.
Next to the temple of Dionysos was a nymphaeum, a decorative fountain. The structure is made from basalt lined with limestone.
Next to it along the street leading eastward is a large public building which was used in Roman times as a sort of roofed forum to do the business of the city. In Byzantine times it was renovated and used as a large market or in the Greek word 'agora'. On the sides were covered shops. On one side lies a beautiful mosaic of a lion
ראשיתה של בית שאן לפני כ 7000 שנה!!! בתל נחשפו כעשרים שכבות יישוב, החל מן התקופה הניאוליתית (האלף החמישי לפנהס) ועד לימי הביניים, וחלקים קטנים מהם ניתן לראות גם כיום, כפי שעוד נחזור וניראה. ואולם -- עיקר עוצמתה ויופיה של בית שאן הם השרידים מן התקופות הרומית והביזנטית (החל במאה הראשונה לספ , ועד שנת 749 -- עת רעידת אדמה אדירה גרמה לחורבנה המחלט). העיר בה אנו עומדים לבקר עברה תהפוכות ושינויים לאורך הזמן, החל בתקופה הרומית עת יושבה עי תושבים פגנים, ועבור אל התקופה הביזנטית, עת הוכרזה הנצרות כדת הרשמית של רומא, והעיר חוותה פריחה עצומה, אוכלוסייתה היגיעה לכדי 30 עד 40 אלף איש, על הגבעות סביבה הוקמו כנסיות רבות, ורק אחרי הכיבוש הערבי (638 לספ ) החלה העיר שוקעת, עד חורבנה הסופי ברעידת האדמה. בתקופה הרומית ניקראה העיר סקיתופוליס.
