#betshean
Beit Shean is one of the oldest cities in Israel. Often overlooked by tourists, it’s worth a visit. Like most places in Israel Beit Shean has several names – Scythopolis, Tel Beit Shean, Tel el-Husn, Tel el-Hosn, Beisan and Nysa. It is located in the Galilee region of northern Israel where the Harod Valley and Jordan Valley meet, just 27km south of the Sea of Galilee and 5km east of the Jordan River and is one of the country’s largest archaeological sites.

The Bet She An National Park Israel
The Bet She An National Park Israel with its extensive Roman ruins.
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.

Bet She’an – A Tel with a Theater, Toilets, Temple and more…
Bet She’an, also spelled Beit She’an and Beth Shan (in the Bible) is the biggest archaeological dig in Israel, a Tel of 17 levels, a man-made mound with many generations building in the same spot. It is one of the most ancient cities in the Holy Land having been first settled about 7,000 years ago. Later, in the biblical era, Philistines conquered it. At nearby by Mt. Gilboa, King Saul and three of his sons die while battling the Philistines, who subsequently display the bodies of the royal on the walls of the city of Bet She’an. Still later, it became a thriving city of 30,000 to 40,000 inhabitants in the Roman world. Today, you can see the ruins of a Roman town from Jesus’ time and ruins of a Byzantine town. There are ruins of a theater, amphitheater, hippodrome, baths, swimming pools, a temple and public buildings, a “Cardo” (the main street in ancient Roman cities that were lined with shops and with mosaic sidewalks), a Roman bridge and a Crusader fortress. (During our pilgrimage in Israel our group stayed a two hotels - in the Galilee (Tiberias) and in Jerusalem. The toilet paper in the Tiberias hotel had imprints of puppy dogs and the toilet paper in the Jerusalem hotel had imprints of rosebuds. You will hear our guide refer to puppy dog toilet paper in this video!)
Exploring Beit Shean in Israel
Bet She’an National Park houses the spectacular ruins of the Roman and Byzantine city of Bet She’an. It played an important role in history due to its geographical location at the junction of the Jordan River Valley and the Jezreel Valley. We are joined by Shaul who tells the story of his grandfather discovering the once lost Roman city.
