![Skull Hill & Jerusalem Wall - Photo: Just outside Jerusalem’s Old City wall, near a local bus station, is a rocky hillside which matches the Bible’s description of the Crucifixion site. John identified the place where Jesus was crucified as “the Place of a Skull, which is called Golgotha in Hebrew” (John 19:17). The likeness of a skull can be seen in the rockface to the left (see Skull Hill photo below for a closeup). Additionally, John recorded that the Crucifixion site was near Jerusalem (John 19:20), which also matches this site. The nearness of Skull Hill to Jerusalem’s Old City can be seen in the photo: the exterior of the Old City Wall is visible to the right, illuminated by sunlight. It is highly significant that Skull Hill is at the summit of Mount Moriah in light of Abraham’s near-sacrifice of his son Isaac there (Genesis 22:1-19). Scripture states that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son [Jesus], so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).](https://i0.wp.com/www.sdgimagery.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SDG-imagery.Skull-Hill.02655m.jpg?fit=400%2C267&ssl=1)

![Photo: A massive, circular altar and temple complex at Megiddo from the time of the Canaanites who once lived here (Judges 1:27). The altar was likely the site of horrific practices. Prior to the conquest of the land of Canaan, Moses told the Israelites: “every abominable thing that the Lord hates [the Canaanites] have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods” (Deuteronomy 12:31). The ancient city of Megiddo guarded an enormous valley which was coveted for its fertile soil. The city also guarded a crucial mountain pass at the crossroads of the Ancient Near East, and was therefore the site of countless battles. Megiddo stands elevated on a hill, and since the Hebrew word for hill is “har” (הר), Megiddo became known as “Har-Megiddo”, or, “Armageddon” (Revelation 16:16).](https://i0.wp.com/www.sdgimagery.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/SDG-imagery.Megiddo-Canaanite-altar.00833m.jpg?fit=400%2C267&ssl=1)
