Image:  Jericho and Dead Sea area and River Jordan. Qumran, caves where Dead Sea scrolls were found. Dead Sea in distance.   IndianaHoenlein, @conf_of_pres, Conference of Presidents, in re: Chapeau, bullwhip.  Negev tombstone:  Sixth or Seventh Century, a park worker stumbled on a cemetery. Sta Catarina (on Mount Sinai).   Maresha city,  in the foothills of the Judaean Mountains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaean_Mountains) : a thousand underground rooms; room 69 held a thousand seals.   Dead Sea Scrolls: found a lid that had been contaminated, but it was sedge (papyrus);  the jar probably fell, scrolls decomposed, but there may be more Qumran caves in other locations and caves not yet discovered.
