 Megiddo is an ancient city whose remains form a Tel, or mound.  Archeologists have unearthed 26 layers indicating a long period of settlement, including a Canaanite City State during the Bronze age and a royal city in the Kingdom of Israel in the Iron Age.  Famous battles fought between Egyptians and Canaanites, Egyptians and The Tribe of Judah and during WWI between the Allied Troops and the Ottomans occured here.  In Greek it is Armageddon, and in the Book of Revelations in the Bible it is the location of the final battle.
