This is Beth Shean/Scythopolis, the ruins of Beth Shean where the body of King Saul was hung on the wall of this city after his armies were defeated by the Philistines. The Roman ruins are 3rd century BC! Remarkably preserved. Here you can see our group marching up to the top of the mountain which has some interesting ruins and a beautiful view of the surrounding area.
