More ruins ...Bet Shean


Bet Shean fresh water springs. One of three natural pools.




More excavations in the same area, ruins from the early Greek era then developed by Rome. This was apparently the largest of the decapolis cities in Israel, more than 2000 years back.
Now just a rather run down small town. The crew having a break in the shade of the arena walls. Apparently many people met a gruesome death in these arenas.... a bit chilling!!!



Shelley, our avid archeologist and treasure hunter loves fossicking in any ruins & has a great collection of old pottery shards, pieces of mosaic & a few Roman glass treasures....broken of course.
