DEAD SEA FLOAT
QUMRAN CAVE
MASADAThe struggle at Masada was lengthy and ended with Herod's troops winning the day but the Zealots stood up for what they believe till their death. The place is 400 meters high and baren as you can get but they lasted for four years. I am impressed with they determination, commitment and a willingness to risk all which in this day and age is not seen often. commendable.
QUMRAN SCROLLS
Found in caves in 1947 by a shepherd boy these scolls were ancient manuscripts of the Book of Isaiah, Esther and many other Hebrew works. The most dramatic discovery ever found. The caves are remote and in a desolate part of the land. To me there does not seem to be enough of a ledge to get to the caves but the goats did and so did the boy.
DEAD SEA
Fun and strangeness in water that has so much boyency (sp). The sea is over 30% salt and is receeding 1 meter a year due to the reduced water coming down the Jordan River (it is being diverted for other places). I have pictures of priest of our diocese to blackmail. I was the bag lady and guarded the clothes and cameras as I had gone in last time I was here.
