For readability, I display the pages on top of each other rather than side-by-side (book format). Chapters and sections begin on even pages (left side) with introductory photos. Title pages begin on odd pages (right side).
To see the book layout, reduce the percentage in the title bar below to about 50. Then click the three dots in the title bar (right side) and select “Two page view.”
View south: The bath next to the one pictured on page 289. Hamat Gader offered visitors seven hot-water baths.
View east: One of the channels (right) that carried hot spring water between the thermal baths. Also visible is part of the theater (lower left). Inset: A lead pipe at the end of the stone channel.
View north: The arched entrance to the main ancient bath lined with steps for easy access. The bath complex was reached via a 39-foot (12-meter) wide paved street.
The pools were maintained in separate halls, connected by passageways that led between them.
View south: This photo was taken above Hamat Gader (lower left in the trees), looking toward the country of Jordan. The ruins of ancient Gadara are on the plateau above Hamat Gader (not pictured).
The crocodile farm at Hamat Gader is the largest in the Middle East with over 200 crocodiles. It also includes alligators, caimans, and gavials.
View east: Fish farms located in the Yarmuk River Valley, a little east of the hot springs at Hamat Gader. Beyond the ponds are the countries of Syria and Jordan.
Very little has changed in two thousand years. Modern Israelis enjoy The thermal hot springs at Hamat Gadar today as the Romans did anciently.
