(AP-Huffington Post) Dutch and Palestinian archaeologists are preparing to open the site of the ancient city of Shechem, in the West Bank city of Nablus, to the public as an archaeological park next year. Shechem, positioned in a pass between the mountains of Gerizim and Eibal, was an important regional center more than 3,500 years ago.
