| Megiddo is located
in the Jezreel Valley, in northern Israel. As a famous archaeological
site with a long and complex history extending from the Neolithic
Period (c. 7000 BCE) to the Babylonian-Persian Age (c. 500 BCE), Tel Megiddo offers
visitors a wealth of impressive archaeological remains. According
to the Book of Revelations, this spot, called "Armageddon"
(derived from the Hebrew name "har Megiddo," the hill of
Megiddo) would be the place of the Last Judgement. For this reason,
an Armageddon Contemplation Cove
has been established. |

| A new TimeScope
system is currently being developed for the Tel Megiddo National Park.
This new interpretive system will present computer reconstructions
of the ancient city's northern Iron Age Palace, dated by some scholars
to the time of King Solomon (c. 950 BCE), and of the stables of the
later Israelite kings which were built on top of the ruins of this
palace. |
