Maresha: Journey Through an Ancient Subterranean World | Israel's UNESCO Site

Discover the hidden wonders of Maresha, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Beit Guvrin-Maresha National Park in Israel. This first episode explores the remarkable underground world of Hellenistic Maresha, featuring its iconic Bell Caves, elaborate columbarium, ancient olive presses, and unique bathing chambers.

Journey with us as we descend beneath the Judean lowlands to reveal how ancient inhabitants ingeniously carved hundreds of caves into the soft chalk bedrock, creating an underground city that served numerous purposes – from industrial olive oil production to sophisticated dove-raising facilities.

Learn about the fascinating multicultural society that flourished here between the 9th-1st centuries BCE, where Edomites, Greeks, and Sidonians created a vibrant Hellenistic center. Witness the engineering marvel of the Bell Caves, the historical significance of the Polish Cave with its WWII connections, and the sophisticated underground industries that fueled this ancient economy.

Perfect for history enthusiasts, archaeology buffs, and travelers planning to visit Israel's archaeological treasures. Join us for this immersive exploration of one of the Mediterranean's most impressive ancient subterranean landscapes!
