The palaces of Jericho
The plate with the site plan of the Ministry of Tourism Palestinian Authority. |
Attempt of reconstruction palace of Herod the the Great. |
The ruins of a huge gazebo, above which stands the modern squatter. |
Once upon a time it looked like this. |
A terrace is located at the foot of the garden gazebo. |
And here is the palace. |
In ancient times, it looked like this. |
All the palaces of Herod the most important facilities were baths |
A few hundred meters to the left of the palace of Herod was another palace complex. |
That's palace looked like initially. |
There was a main hall is lined with a decorative stone tile floor. |
And there was another room. In these lay-poster stone slabs under which circulates the hot air. |
Ancient mosaic floors. |
The pool, which by order of Herod, as if, by accident, drowned his wife's brother - the last of the Hasmonean |
Such was the palace of the last decades before the onset of a new era. These two pools. Herod ordered to partially dismantle the bridge between them - and we've got a big reservoir. |
