Megiddo trench
Panorama of the main archaeological trench through Tel Megiddo: 5,500 years of history in cross section. Civilization upon civilization built cities on the ruins of the previous one, building up a mound 60 meters high composed of 26 identifiable layers, each representing a rebuilding. If you've read The Source by James Michener, that was based largely on Megiddo. With a commanding view out over the Jezreel Plain, it guards a strategic pass on the main trade route from Egypt to Mesopotamia. Uploaded on Nov 13, 2009 Rock Hyrax
An oddball mammal, offshoot from close to the base of the placental mammalian tree -- sometimes called the Syrian Rabbit, but has nothing to do with rabbits. Elephants & manatees are its closest living relatives -- what, you can't see the family resemblance? Well, guess that's not surprising -- even those, it's pretty distant from.

AqueductJust the odd ruined aqueduct running next to the road. Between Acco (the destination of the aqueduct) and Nahariya, from Hwy 4. This one is Ottoman, built in the late 18th c, rebuilt in the early 19th, & in operation until the 1948 war.
