Good afternoon...at least here in Israel. I want to share some pictures of the Bethsaida Dig site before we have done too much "changing" of the landscape. Now...use your imagination and see if you can picture the locations. Captions tell you where you are! Ready? Let's go!
As you enter Bethsaida, this sign greets you with information
about the ancient Bethsaida, some of its finds and history.

This stele lists the original universitie and colleges in the
consortium that has been excavating Bethsaida. I will try to
consortium that has been excavating Bethsaida. I will try to
get a better shot for you!
This "street" leads to what may be a marketplace on the
left and the already excavated Four Chamber Gate just
left and the already excavated Four Chamber Gate just
ahead. HARD on the feet! Isn't that sky beautiful?
Here we are coming up on the Gate, the stele are on both sides.
You can see the stele here as well. To the left is one of the high places and I will get a picture of that for you as well. There have been a number of finds down through the years, may have been offerings!
This is the threshhold to the Gate to the City.
The following pictures are of the four chambers...(Four Chamber Gate!)
Here is a close-up of one of the steles.
Don't want to bore you, but leave you looking for more.
Next time, I'll share information about the lectures that we have
each evening. Don't forget to give me your comments and suggestions! Until then...Safe Travel!
