I learned about this in Bible Geography class in Bible college. I found it quite interesting.

While both "should have been" and "should've been" are correct, "should OF been" is always wrong. This doesn't seem like you. If you're speaking into your phone to enter your copy (voice recognition), proofreading seems necessary.

Annette Phillips Nicolls, the Grand Canyon is a mile deep, true, but the very bottom of the Canyon is 2,400 feet above sea level. The question said dry land below sea level.

Ok, using logic here, lakes were out because of the lake's depth would not indicate "dry" land. Dead Sea "Shore" would indicate a previous land mass lower to accommodate the previous water depth. Obvious answer - based on that criteria would be Death Valley.

Been there

Got it.

I was looking at the Dry land part of the question that's why I didn't answer Dead Sea. Never mind maybe get the next
Dorothy Harper
I thought the question said on dry land, didn’t realize The Dead Sea shoreline was dry.

Steve Grant, where’s “palestine”?

Fatima Moo, do go back to school. It’s always been ISRAEL. When you put a modern day mosque on top a 3,000 + year old wall - you don’t get to call it palestine, that was a Roman notion!

Euan Pescot, it says shore.

Nicky Fera, the question says "on dry land"
Russell Wong
Nicky Fera, that's not dry land.
