Why is Megiddo so Legendary?

Nestled in the strategic Jezreel Valley, Megiddo was the crossroads of ancient civilizations—a place where empires clashed and history was forged. It's not just an archaeological site; it's the prophesied battleground of the ultimate confrontation between good and evil, as depicted, according to the Christian tradition, in the Book of Revelation.
