The Dead Shall Rise Again
The high plateau of Dana transforms to a great Rift Valley, dominated by a large lake too inhospitable to bear life. Minus 1,412 feet below sea level our GPS reads once we reach the shores of the Dead Sea, an apt name for the barren land. But the sea is not the only thing to bear the deathly name.
Numerous remnants and legends find root in this lowest spot on earth, often associated with death and destruction. The cave of Lot, the remnants and Sodom and Gomorrah, and Herod’s Fort known for the world’s most well-known beheading. But there is also life found, in the most unlikely of places.
