The city of Megiddo played a prominent role in the history of the ancient Near East. Strategically located at the mouth of the Nahal Iron Pass, Megiddo controlled access to the road that linked Egypt with Mesopotamia and Anatolia - the most important trade and military route of that time. Megiddo is the only site in the Land of Israel mentioned in the records of all Near Eastern ancient powers and was one of the most fought-over cities in the region. The first fully-recorded battle in history, in which Pharaoh Thutmose III's army faced a coalition of Canaanite kings, took place here in 1479 B.C. Megiddo is also mentioned in many biblical narratives. Its king was one of the Canaanite rulers defeated by Joshua, it is listed among the cities built by King Solomon, and it was the site where two Judahite kings - Ahaziah and Josiah - met their deaths. For millions of Christians, Megiddo is the Armageddon of St. John's Revelation, where the forces of Good will defeat the forces of Evil in the Final Battle at the End of Days.
