"Cave of the Ascents" Bet She`arim Things to Do Tip by gubbi1

This cave structure has twelve rooms all together. It is built quite impressively into a narrow rock gap and has two levels. There are several inscriptions around the cave of which one says in Hebrew: 'This is the last resting place of Yodan son of Levy, Levy is in Eternity, at peace, may the grave remain worthy of Yodan son of Levy'.
It is possible to climb up also to the upper door, but it is slightly difficult to get down again in case the rock is wet. Somehow this cave gives the feeling of being Indiana Jones ;)
