In the Book of Revelations (16:16) that Armageddon (the mound of Megiddo) would at the end of days be the site of the last battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil.
What we saw was the excavation of Solomon’s buildings. Megiddo is the jewel in the crown of biblical archaeology.
Megiddo is strategically perched above the most important land route in the ancient Near East.
As civilizations came and went, succeeding settlements at ancient Megiddo were built on the ruins of their predecessors, creating a multi-layered archaeological legacy that abounds in unparalleled treasures that include monumental temples, lavish palaces, mighty fortifications, and remarkably-engineered water systems.
I’ve included photos… so many, hope to let you visualize what it was like…
