Eco Tours in Israel: Hamat Gader חמת גדר
Eco Tours in Israel: Hamat Gader חמת גדר - The ancient hot springs of El Hama (Hamat Gader in hebrew) date back for 2000 years, to the time of the Romans who built a beautiful hot spring resort down in the valley. The resort was subsequently covered over by 4 meters of earth and when archaeologists rediscovered it, entire buldings were found intact. Today, this is a very popular resort for Israelis from all over the country who come to enjoy the hot springs of El Hama.
Eco Tours in Israel: Carmel Forest Lilies
Eco Tours in Israel: Carmel Forest Lilies - The Carmel mountain is a holy mountain, dedicated to the prophet Elija, to the Druze religion, to Christians, Jews and Muslims. There is a very interesting natural habitat here and Dani has come in search of a very specific flower - a lily, which is mentioned in the bible, the largest wild flower in Israel. You can also see lots of caves and rock formations from the very hard limestone - cast caves, stalagmites and stalagtites, and a whole variety of animals, including a wild animal called the Yachmur - a deer which was served up to King Solomon himself.
Eco Tours in Israel: Israel Valley
Eco Tours in Israel: The Israel Valley is incredibly flat and very fertile. The area was once a swamp and was bought by pioneers over 120 years ago. The valley was an ancient passageway that people used to cross in order to get to the hills of Nazareth. Today this area of Israel is farmland. The earth is currently being used to grow food and is watered using recycled water. 70% of the water which is flushed down the toilets in Israel is cleaned and made available for agriculture. 90% of all the fruit and vegetables that is eaten in Israel is grown locally.
Eco Tours in Israel: Ein Aya עין איה
Eco Tours in Israel: Ein Aya עין איה - The Ein Aya water hole is one of many springs in Israel, the Golan Heights itself is a wonderful source of water. The limestone absorbs the water in the winter time and then allows it to flow out slowly into the spring. Two thousand years ago, women with jars would have gone to Ein Aya spring to draw water and have a chat with the other women. Men would also go to the water hole in the hope of finding a young woman to partner with.

What Is The Mystery Under The Sea Of Galilee?
A mysterious, circular structure, with a diameter greater than the length of a Boeing 747 jet, has been discovered submerged about 30 feet (9 meters) underneath the Sea of Galilee in Israel.
Scientists first made the discovery by accident in 2003 using sonar to survey the bottom of the lake but published their findings only recently.
We just bumped into it, recalls Shmuel Marco, a geophysicist from Tel Aviv University who worked on the project. Usually the bottom of the lake is quite smooth. We were surprised to find a large mound. Initially we didn't realize the importance of this but we consulted with a couple of archaeologists, and they said it looked like an unusually large Bronze Age statue.
The structure is comprised of basalt rocks, arranged in the shape of a cone. It measures 230 feet (70 meters) at the base of the structure, is 32 feet (10 meters) tall, and weighs an estimated 60,000 tons. It is twice the size of the ancient stone circle at Stonehenge in England.
Its size and location, say Marco, who also took video of the structure during a scuba dive to examine it, indicated it could have been constructed underwater as a type of fish nursery. However archeologists think it more likely it was built on dry land and later submerged by the lake.
From a geophysical perspective, it is also important to the history of the lake, because it means the water level was lower than it was today, says Marco.
According to Yitzhak Paz, the archeologist who led the study, the fact that the structure is underwater has made it a particularly difficult study.
If the site was inland, it would be much easier to investigate. By now we would have excavated, but because it's submerged we haven't yet been able to. It is a much harder process, both physically and financially. It is very expensive to raise support for such an enterprise.
The exact age of the structure has been difficult to pinpoint, but calculations based on the six to ten feet (two to three meters) of sand that have accumulated over the bottom of the base -- sand accumulates an average of one to four millimeters per year -- as well as comparisons to other structures in the region, put the estimate anywhere between 2,000 and 12,000 years old.
The possible purpose of the structure is even more enigmatic.
Dani Nadel, an archeologist from the University of Haifa, who partnered on the site, and who has led several prehistoric excavations in the region, notes it shares similarities with communal burial sites, though he's quick to discourage anyone from drawing a definitive conclusion.
This is such a huge structure that it truly is something unusual. It could have been a big ceremonial structure, or a ramp. There could have once been statues on top of people in certain rituals. I mean, I'm really going wild here. The truth is we don't know how it was constructed, what its exact age is, how it was used, or how long ago it was used. We have several speculations, but we don't know much except that it's there and it's huge.
Despite the limitations of examining underwater ruins, Nadel says that once they do raise the funds to excavate, there is a good likelihood that their findings will be more complete than would be possible with a land-based structure.
Above land, many organic remains are decomposed by worms, and other creatures needing oxygen. Underwater, you don't have oxygen, so the process of decomposition is on a much smaller scale, he says.
Nadel points to Ohalo II, a site he excavated near the Sea of Galilee that had been submerged for 23,000 years before a drop in water level made it easy to excavate. Ohalo II is significant because it was one of the best preserved prehistoric sites in the world.
In most sites, you're lucky to find five or ten seeds. At Ohalo, we found 150,000. We learned a lot about the diet (of the inhabitants), what fish they were eating, what animals they were hunting. When a site is underwater it gives us the opportunity to see history in much more detail.
What archeologists are certain of is that the monument was likely of great importance to the people who built it. Marco notes that the nearest basalt outcrop was a few hundred meters from the site, and that the stones, which were three to six feet (one to two meters) in width, would have weighed over 200 pounds (90 kilograms) at times.
We see a society that was capable of organizing the construction of such a large structure. It's unique to transport these stones and unique to arrange them. You need to plan and to mobilize people, because they're too heavy to be carried by a single person.
Nadel points out that given the harsh environment such a structure was a particularly impressive accomplishment.
You have to imagine, says Nadel, these people were building something that was more durable than their brush huts.
