As you can see, Tell (mound) Megiddo is quite large. The ancient city was formidable. Solomon fortified Megiddo, evidently building massive stone walls and a huge protective gate.a (1 Kings 9:15) On the left side of the tell, you can see a large, oblong pit, which was the entrance to an intricate water-supply system. A steep staircase led down to a long tunnel chipped through the underlying rock, giving the Israelites access to springwater while they were protected from attack. Archaeologists have also discovered remains of a stable for some 450 horses, perhaps from the time of Ahab’s reign.—Compare 1 Kings 9:19.

YOU will find a larger view of Megiddo in the 1989 Calendar of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Its six pictures will be discussed this year in Watchtower articles, which you may want to retain with the calendar for future use.
