The Bushnell Banner scopes are crap. Spend the extra money and get a Nikon prostaff...waterproof, fogproof, shockproof, and a lifetime warrentee. On top of that, they are fairly affordable ($120-200).
The Jordan River, in the Middle East, is the lowest river in the world. It ends in the Dead Sea, at a depth of 1,312 feet (400 meters) below sea level. The river is important to Christians, Jews, and Muslims because of its location in an area that is holy to all three.
Tell es-Sultan, the ancient city of Jericho, is the lowest (258 m below sea level) and the oldest town on earth. It grew up around a perennial spring, Ain es-Sultan, in an area of fertile alluvial soil which attracted hunter-gatherer groups to settle down, and to start a process of plant and animal domestication.
