The Valley of Armageddon

Rain and wind and cooler temp's ! I think our winter has arrived , The forecast is showing rain for the next week

Still keeping up our busy schedule on the weekends we went somewhere nearby , The ruins of Megiddo (Haifa is 12 miles from Armageddon !!!) It was a great way to spend a stormy day

The Ancient city of Megiddo overlooks the Jezreel Valley ,the site of many historic battles and believed to be the site of a final battle yet to come, known as Armageddon...

There was lot's to explore and learn here, the kid's liked the sophisticated ancient water system that was built so the people inside the city walls could access the spring without leaving the safety of the Kingdom .

The Jezreel Valley
Not so scary






A grain silo from 800 B.C.







Limestone horse troughs and hitching posts








These stables date back more than 3,000 years

The tunnel to the spring
