In room one we have been learning about spiritual places and we had to choose a place from a list, so I chose the Dead Sea. I hope you enjoy please leave a Positive, Thoughtful and Helpful comment!

The Dead Sea.

Why is it called the Dead Sea?
Because of the seas high salt quantities that stop microscopic aquatic organisms such as fish and marine plants. 

It is nearly impossible to swim in the Dead Sea.
Most people float on the surface of the water because of the high salt capacity of the water 
A half-hour drive from Jerusalem, the Dead Sea is actually a large lake. 48 miles long and 11 miles across.
It is the lowest spot on earth, 1290 feet below sea level it is also the saltiest body of water in the world. At the Dead Sea you are likely to feel more energised because of the higher concentrated oxygen levels. Recently, the Dead Sea has been reduced in size by approximately 700 million cubic meters.

The Dead Sea is also connected to the Jordan river which is a baptismal site. The Dead Sea is a place where many people go, one of the reasons people go to the Dead Sea is because of the rumoured healing properties for example the black mud which said to heal skin diseases, maladies and arthritis.
