Damiyah

The Damiyah dolmen field is the largest such field in Jordan. Over 300 dolmens have been counted in the field which stretches along the eastern foothills in the Jordan valley. These dolmen are functioned as tombs 5000 years ago, during the Early Bronze I period. Unfortunately, many of the dolmens are being destroyed each year by the Travco company that is quarrying the valuable travertine stone in the field.

Stop by and see these endangered archaeological artifacts.

Mar Elias

Mar Elias has been updated with new photographs from the 2009 season. Most notably, VR spots for inside the baptistry have been added to the project.

al-Mukhayyat

Khirbet al-Mukhayyat is the location of ancient Nebo, famous for its view of the Jordan Valley and the death of Moses. Because of its association with the death of Moses, the site became an prominent pilgrim site during the Byzantine period. In the town of Nebo itself, largely unexcavated, four Byzantine period churches have been discovered, three of which are presented in the Virtual World Project. Unfortunately, the elaborate mosaics that decorated each of the churches have been removed and are thus no longer visible, but the churches themselves are worth the visit. Come and take a look.

Kursi

Kursi, a monastery with a bath, church, and chapel on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, has been updated with new photographs from the 2009 season.

Rosh Zayit

Rosh Zayit, and early Iron Age fort and settlement, has been updated with new photographs from the 2009 season.

Herodium

Herodium has been updated with new photos from the 2009 season. Especially noteworthy is the addition of Herod the Great's tomb, which is located midway down the mountain, beside the entrance stairway.

Tiberias

Tiberias has recently been updated by adding photos of the city's southern gate. The southern gate was excavated in 1973-1974, but was subsequently covered over to preserve it. Recently, the gate has been uncovered as part of the city's attempt to highlight its archaeological heritage.

If you have not yet visited Tiberias, it is well worth the trip. Now, with the addition of the southern gate, it is a must see.
