Arav believes that the Stele was deliberately destroyed by the Assyrian attack on Bethsaida as he recalls the verse from Lamentations 4:1 which states that the sacred stones are scattered at the head of every courtyard. The Bull Stele is believed to be one of Bethsaida’s chief deities. The Bull Stele would have been a marker at the city gate at Bethsaida. ... The discovery of these two deities proves that Bethsaida was a polytheistic religion, worshiping multiple gods. A cooking pot serves to date the age of the Bethsaida excavations. ...
Other smaller artifacts are on display at the Bethsaida exhibit. ... Oil lamps, arrowheads, and other small items are also displayed at the Bethsaida exhibit.
Bethsaida is said to be a place where many of Jesus’ miracles took place.
