Armageddon - but not as some know it. Meggiddo's always been a rich seam for archaeology....and Egyptology, since several grat battles were fought there in the New Kingdom. Here's some fascinating stuff from Israeli excavations revealing Canaaanite funerary prctices -an echo oh the Hyksos who ruled Egypt's north at the beginning of the New Kingdom...suggesting that the canaanite civilisation owed its' existance to Egypt kicking out a ruling class with artisans thrown in to add some craftsmanship.

"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."
