==Today== [[File:Avdat02.JPG|thumb|Avdat earthquake damage]] Avdat was declared a [[World Heritage Site]] by [[UNESCO]] in June 2005, but on 4 October 2009 the site suffered extensive damage when hundreds of artifacts were smashed and paint smeared on walls and an ancient wine press.<ref name=YA/> Two Bedouin men were later indicted for causing NIS 8.7 million worth ($2.3 million) of damage to the site.
