Israel's mammoth site: Ovadia National Park opens in the Jordan Valley - voila! tourism. About 30 layers contain evidence of human activity.
The site, located near Kibbutz Beit Zera, was discovered in 1959 by a nature teacher. The man who lives in Obadiah belongs to a species known as Homo erectus, which indicates that the spread of man from Africa to the rest of the world was not a one-time event, but was done in waves.
