📖 About Tel Megiddo
Tel Megiddo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — an archaeological mound containing 26 layers of settlement spanning 7,000 years, one of the most important in the Land of Israel. The ancient Via Maris passed here, and Megiddo controlled the strategic crossroads between Egypt and Mesopotamia. Megiddo is identified with Har Megiddo — Armageddon of the Book of Revelation, site of the apocalyptic battle. In reality, dozens of real historic battles took place here, including the earliest documented battle in the world (Thutmose III, 1457 BCE). Impressive finds are preserved: ornate city gates from the time of Solomon and Ahab, horse stables, a giant grain silo, and a sophisticated water system — a shaft and tunnel cut into the rock that brought water from a spring outside the city into it during a siege. The visitor center has a model of the mound and a film. The trail takes about 1.5 hours and includes descending into the impressive water tunnel. Combine it with Nazareth or Ein Harod.
