When reading about human settlement thousands of years old, or more, I always wonder what the geography looked like THEN...sea levels...rain patterns...etc. Gives a more accurate context.

Fascinating

SO COOL. In the Bible. It's a gorgeous valley. It must have been a beautiful city in it's time. HOW EXCITING !!!

The body at the end looks like its on top or even in the middle of the rubble. Doesnt necessarily mean this is a tomb, this could be someone who died during the fall of the city or even maybe the body a of tomb raider who lost his life in the rubble collapse
