Sites of interest at the Zippori National Park include the 4,500-seat Roman theater, built on the slope overlooking the Beit Netofa Valley and the Upper Galilee mountains (some of the seats have been reconstructed); the living quarter from the mishnaic and talmudic periods; the Crusader fortress on top of the hill, visible from a great distance; the villa built in the early third century with illustrations from the life of Dionysis, the Greek god of wine (the stunning mosaic in this building is known as the Mona Lisa of the Galilee); the Roman-period lower city with its carefully laid-out series of parallel and perpendicular streets; the Nile Mosaic building, a large fifth-century structure with an ornate mosaic floor depicting the festival held when the level of the Nile River reached its highest point; and the giant underground waterworks, built in the first century and in operation until the seventh. The 250-meter-long reservoir, which could hold 5000 cubic centimeters of water, is about a kilometer and a half away . The Zippori guidance center offers a number of tours and special programs about the history of the Zippori area. Tel Megiddo National Park In the early third millenium B.C.E., Megiddo was already a city fortified by enormous walls; a thousand years later Megiddo was one of the centers of the Egyptian rule in Canaan. Megiddo was strategically invaluable: It overlooked the Eiron River in the heart of the ancient Via Maris, which led from Egypt and Damascus.

I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.

Later, King Ahab turned the city into an important chariot city. In 732 B.C.E.
