Thank you for sharing these educational places. I was in Jericho and saw the well where the water is still coming through. I also went to Nazareth, Bethlehem, and JerUSAlem. Jordan and put my feet in river Jordan. So much history and culture in many places on the planet for the human history.

One can't forget a city like the Phoenician Byblos! Not only the oldest ''continually'' inhabited city (since the Neolithic Period), but also the birth place of modern alphabet, a fact that changed the world! Words as ''Bible'' or ''Bibliothec'' come from the name Byblos!

I have not visited any of the cities included in this piece. I was fortunate enough to visit the ancient city of Perugia during a trip to Italy many years ago. Initially founded by the Etruscan people, remnants of that ancient society can still be seen: wells, burial tombs, portions of walls, etc. If you love history, this is a place you should visit.

Athens was NEVER the centre of Mycenean civilization, although it has been continually inhabited for about 5000 years
