travel zen on friday: armaggedon


Tel Megiddo.

One of the more fascinating spots we visited in Israel was Tel Megiddo (aka Armageddon) in Israel. The biblical people thought that this was the spot where the "Final Battle" would take place because, during their time, many battles were fought there. Its position -- at a crossroads -- in the fertile Jezreel Valley meant many kings/leaders ended up meeting and fighting there.

Now an active archaeological dig site, many layers of remnants of various civilization still wait to be discovered.
