[Remains of Lot’s wife?]

Gonna have to declare you the “thread winner” with that one.

Interesting that the Lord Himself mentioned it (in the Gospels).

Luke 17:26-35 Revised Standard Version (RSV)

26 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man.
27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise as it was in the days of Lot—they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built,
29 but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom fire and sulphur rained from heaven and destroyed them all—
30 so will it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 On that day, let him who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away; and likewise let him who is in the field not turn back.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
35 There will be two women grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”

now this is a pretty cool idea. Errosion makes the 45 ft banks steeper and it crusts to form razor sharp crystals.

We need more salt on the border.

Oh thank god, at least they are not using sand.

The sand shortage could make covid worse.

1.5 miles built in one month - salt hardens over time in the sun and rain; its surface becoming sharp as knives and the 45 degree slope is very hard to climb - they hope to finish it in 1 year. Will slow down smugglers, illegals and guns from entering Israel - also lessens the burden on the IDF guarding the border and is ecologically friendly thing to do with salt from various chemical industries. Keep in mind that Jordan is basically a ‘Palestinian’ state run by Hashimites.

Sure would be nice to have one of those here.....

Instead we get Jewish people in the media telling us to let all the immigrants into our country....or else we are horrible.

I would think that the Golan hieghts and the Gaza strip would be better uses of salt.

Getting the salt from evaporation ponds after potash extraction.

Sidebar - I bathe regularly using Dead Sea salt plus epsom salt.
