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.
