A nearly complete Roman city in Bet She’an, Israel.
I fell off a mountain taking this photo. Beit She'an is another place I had never heard of before visiting - making it that much more incredible to see. This is an archaeology nerd's paradise, and to explore it with one of the archaeologists who worked on the site was an honour. The scar I have from the fall will always remind me of this clumsy adventure

A place packed with Biblical and Roman history.
Bet She’an National Park houses the spectacular ruins of the glory that was the Roman and Byzantine city of Bet She’an. Rising above them is the high mound on which Biblical Bet She’an stood. Beit Shean was settled as early as the Chalcolithic era about 6000 years ago and has remained continually inhabited since then. It is one of the oldest cities in Israel. 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, and south of the Sea of Galilee and east of the Jordan River and is one of the country’s largest archaeological sites.
