Zippori Ruins

From the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, on 12 August 2008 shows the ruins of a Roman temple from the second century AD which has recently been unearthed in the Zippori National Park.

Remnants of the podium, the temple's facade and some steps are seen in front of a long wall in the background which belongs to a Byzantine church whose foundations were built on the remains of the temple.

Zippori was called a mixed city or was a multi-cultural society and had a significant pagan population which built a temple in the heart of the city center, during the Roman period.

There is numerous multi-cultural society or mixed cities buried in Palestine. Some of the buried cities appear to be whole cities, looking as though it is just waiting for the inhabitants to just come home and not a Jewish city or capitol; as some of the archeologist assume.

Furthermore, if anyone should unearth any of the whole cities do not venture inside, but rebury them; for they where buried due to the inhabitants extreme corruption and the buried cities are considered cursed.
