Sol comes back and herds us away from the broken marble pieces toward the Roman amphitheatre.
The semicircular stage with its back to the sea holds lighting equipment, amplifiers, folding chairs, and miles of black extension cords.
"See. There is the rock concert tonight. The Romans build the theatre so the sound bounces off the water and is good for every seat."
So the noise will be deafening.
No one says that and Sol takes up his guide lecture again.
"In 646, Caesarea falls to the Persians, then the Persians lose it to the Crusaders, who rebuild the ruined city as a fortress to attack Jerusalem. When the Christian knights capture Jerusalem, they don't make the distinction between the Arabs and the Jews, of course, so they slaughter everyone. The streets run with blood up to the knees of the horses."
