About Tel Megiddo (Mount Megiddo)

Tel Megiddo is the site of the ancient city of Megiddo, the remains of which form a tell or archaeological mound, situated in northern Israel at the western edge of the Jezreel Valley. During the Bronze Age, Megiddo was an important Canaanite city-state, and in the Iron Age, it became a royal city in the Kingdom of Israel. The site is renowned for its historical, geographical, and theological significance, especially under its Greek name Armageddon (Ἁρμαγεδών), which appears once in the Koine Greek New Testament in Revelation 16:16.

Thanks for this, but he said, and I think he's just spotted this, the road to Armageddon is, to drive to Armageddon, you have to go on roads 6, 6 and 6. Armageddon comes from Ha Megido, which means Mount Megido, and that's a place in Israel, Mount Megido. If you drive there from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv or most places in Israel, then you take, just by complete coincidence, take route 6 and then you change onto route 66.
