Wide of visitors looking at landscape\u003cbr/\u003eWith its overlapping layers of history, the ancient West Bank village of Sebastia tells a classic Middle East tale.  \u003cbr/\u003eFrom Biblical kings to Romans conquerors, from Crusaders to Ottomans, civilisations have come and gone over the course of three millennia.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the future of this hard-to-reach tourist spot seems uncertain, with concerns over political divisions, looting and neglect.  \u003cbr/\u003eIt is not just its 3,000-year-long history that justifies the one-hour drive from Jerusalem to the Palestinian village of Sebastia, which lies in the northern West Bank.   \u003cbr/\u003eIt is also a chance to stroll among olive trees and blossoming yellow flowers while climbing up the ruins along the path of Alexander the Great, Herod and Medieval Islamic rulers.  \u003cbr/\u003eSebastia has long been a magnet for tourists and pilgrims. \u003cbr/\u003eDesignated as the capital of the Kingdom of Israel under the name of Samaria, as mentioned in the Bible, it hosts an impressive Roman colonnaded street, Roman theatre and Roman temple.\u003cbr/\u003eYou will also find the Crusader Cathedral of St. John the Baptist here, later turned turned into the Mosque of Prophet Yahia.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to tradition, Sebastia - a predominantly Muslim town today - is the burial place of John the Baptist, revered by both Christians and Muslims, who call him \"Prophet Yahia.\"   \u003cbr/\u003eCaught between conflicting Israeli and Palestinian jurisdictions, the site has been largely ignored by both sides for the past two decades\u003cbr/\u003eCarla Benelli is an Italian art historian and has been working on restoration projects here in Sebastia for the past eight years. \u003cbr/\u003e\"You can learn the history of the whole region (by) staying here because all the powers that crossed the region since the time of the Egyptians were passing through,\" she says.\u003cbr/\u003eOn a sunny spring day, Benelli leads a group of foreign visitors through the archaeological remains spread over about one square kilometre. \u003cbr/\u003eThe group occasionally stops to view the valleys underneath, with their olive and fruit groves.  \u003cbr/\u003eTwo major archaeological digs were carried out here in the early 20th century.\u003cbr/\u003eIn addition, smaller excavations were conducted in the 1960s by the Department of Antiquities of Jordan, when the site was under Jordanian rule.  \u003cbr/\u003eBut from Benell's point of view, there should be no further work until better protection and preservation measures are in place. \u003cbr/\u003eShe thinks the archaeological site is at risk because of poor maintenance. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We shouldn't excavate until we are able to preserve what has been already excavated,\" she warns.\u003cbr/\u003e\"So it should be taken care (of). And taking care should be taking out the grass, cleaning, doing ordinary maintenance, daily maintenance. There is no one who is doing this here in Sebastia. It will not last forever in this way.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThere is graffiti at the entrance to the remains of the Church of the Invention of the Head of John the Baptist, once a Byzantine church.\u003cbr/\u003eWritten in Arabic, it reads \"there's no other God but Allah.\" \u003cbr/\u003eThere are also weeds freely growing among the ruins, sticking out from ancient stones.\u003cbr/\u003eLook down at the ground and litter is visible around some of the area. \u003cbr/\u003eFinely decorated stone Roman tombs in the centre of the village lie smashed and abandoned.  \u003cbr/\u003eTo make things worse, according to architect Osama Hamdan, illegal excavations and looting are rampant.\u003cbr/\u003eHe has been coordinating and supervised restoration works in Sebastia, alongside Benelli.   \u003cbr/\u003e\"It's thirteen years, it's from the beginning of (the) intifada (that) it's (been) abandoned completely. And everybody come(s) and make(s) a destruction without any control,\" he says. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Sebastya is suffering a lot because a lot of illegal excavation has happened in this area, a lot of destruction of cultural heritage in this area has happened. Antiquities, it was going outside of this country without no scientific documentation.\"\u003cbr/\u003eStatues, vases, coins, glasses have been looted away, he adds.   \u003cbr/\u003eThe responsibility of stopping the alleged looting and protection of the historic site lies ultimately with the authorities in charge of it.   \u003cbr/\u003eThe Oslo peace accords of 1993 divided control of the area between Israel and Palestinians. \u003cbr/\u003eHamadan Taha, Assistant Deputy Minister at the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, admits that looting is a problem and says that the Palestinians are making efforts to combat it.\u003cbr/\u003eWith the help of international donors, the Ministry has also built an \"interpretation centre\" that, according to Taha, will provide tourism facilities and services to local and international tourists.   \u003cbr/\u003eIt was supposed to have opened a few months ago.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It is part of the tourist infrastructure in Sebastia. We hope this facility will maximise tourism to the site locally and internationally,\" he says. \u003cbr/\u003eFor Israel, Sebastia is managed by Israel's Nature and Parks Authority.\u003cbr/\u003eIn a written statement, a spokesman for Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) did not specifically address the issue of looting.\u003cbr/\u003eBut they did say that \"we are currently working in order to resume the conservation and development of the site. Also, we are checking options to adjust parking lots and alternative access roads for visitors.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSebastia shop and restaurant owner, Hafez Kaye, is looking to the future with hope.\u003cbr/\u003eHe says that tourists stop coming when there was a Palestinian \"intifada\" (uprising) against Israel in 2000.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We closed (for) ten years, no work, nothing, no business for Sebastia, not because of the tourists that they are afraid, but because there were no roads to come through. All the checkpoints are closed and everything is closed,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Now slowly, slowly it's coming back; from the year 2010 until now we are receiving groups again and it is coming back again.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIsrael captured the West Bank from Jordan in 1967. Israel has designated the site a national park, but in reality appears to have done little maintenance on it.\u003cbr/\u003eUnder interim peace accords reached in the 1990s, Sebastia was divided into different jurisdictions. \u003cbr/\u003eIsrael retained full control over most of the archaeological site, while the adjacent village was turned over to full Palestinian civilian control, with shared security responsibilities between Palestinians and Israelis. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Palestinians claim all of the West Bank as part of a future state.\u003cbr/\u003eThe situation deteriorated greatly with the outbreak of the Palestinian uprising in late 2000. Although the fighting has ended, visits by Israeli citizens need to be coordinated with the Israeli military. \u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
