Bet She’arim National Park (Part 1) - Prominent Jewish Center in Israel, 2nd-4th Centuries CE

Bet She'arim National Park is a World Heritage site recognized by UNESCO for its historical significance. The necropolis, also known as the "city of the dead," is one of the largest surviving Jewish cemeteries of antiquity and is of primary importance for Jewish history in the period following the destruction of the Second Temple. It appears to have been established during King Herod's reign, but archaeological findings suggest a preexisting settlement during the Kingdom of Israel's period. The location was an integral part of the Hasmonean kingdom and was mentioned in Josephus Flavius's accounts.
During Roman governance, Bet She'arim held significance as a notable Jewish settlement. It became a hub for Torah scholarship, largely due to the presence of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, who settled there. Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi was the head of the Sanhedrin and a prominent figure in the Jewish world. Regardless of his request to be laid to rest in Bet She'arim, his burial place became a holy site, and many Jews wanted to be buried near him.
Despite the influx of burials, the town declined after Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi's death, and in the 4th century, it was destroyed and burned. The discovery of the cemetery at Bet She'arim is one of the most captivating archaeological finds in Israel, with over 30 underground burial complexes found.
