A barren lake, bare waste, volcanic lake- the Dead Sea. No fish, needless, sunk deep in the earth, a dead sea in a dead land, grey and old. The Dead Sea first won its morbid name when the Crusaders came to its salty shores. The invading Christians thought it sterile and gave it the stamp of death. The Dead Sea has always been a battlefield ever since the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah, conflicts ancient and modern. Today, the Dead Sea lies on a new border, half in Israel, half in Jordan, and once again it's a place of tension. How do these uneasy neighbours value their common property? For both of them, the sea should be a great prize because today the Dead Sea is really 'coming alive'.
