Advent Pilgrimage

The sight of the apocalypse - what an incredible view. Megiddo is a hill that at least 30 different groups or civilisations have built on. From the top you can see to the east and west of the country.

Megiddo was so important because it was atop the very important trade route - if you control Megiddo, you are rich. But as always, with the money, comes enemies. Many battles took place in the valley and on Megiddo.
