In the year of '97, pieces of limestone were brought to Ashkelon National Park.
Then Arabs with disc grinders made them into columns and other Roman-style parts.
A few years later I was surprised to find out that the darkened new material is listed as a landmark of the park.
And with the pipe there is a waterfall on the Bokek stream, near the Dead Sea. Maybe not all of it, but some of it comes from the pipe.
And then there's the Roman city of Beit Shean.
There are more holes in the stories of local residents-guides than in cheese. How coins were found when they were children and immediately given to the authorities (aha-aha).
How for the purpose of employment the state organised excavations.
I don't remember the details, but I understood the reluctance of UNESCO to recognise this place as historical.
