Tel Megiddo

Just left this tel (man made mound) which was such a strategic position overlooking the Jezreel Valley. 7000 years of human habitation is documented here through the detritus of 25 different civilizations.

King Solomon had a palace here with stables for 450 horses.

Canaanites sacrificed humans on this ancient round altar dated to 2700 B.C.

This is where the Battle of Armageddon will tale place.
