Investigates Claims That the Dead Sea Was Hit by
Severe Droughts in the Past

• He says "I hiked up the snake trail to the top
  of Masada first, which is where King Herod the
  Great built palaces for himself. From here, you
  can look down on the Dead Sea and really be
  immersed in history. This wasn't my first trip, I
  lost my heart to the Dead Sea a long time ago,
  and that is when I noticed it the sea seemed to
  be receding somewhat."

• In the recent piece of scientific research, core
  samples were taken from deep below the Dead Sea,
  which proved that this area of the planet,
  perhaps more than anywhere else, is incredibly
  susceptible to climate change. Since this has
  been uncovered, people like Jeffery David Whippo
  have been investigating the area for further
  proof of this, and it is actually a lot more
  visible than initially expected.

• Jeffery David Whippo says "I then visited the
  old city of Jerusalem, and particularly the
  bottom of the Temple Mound, on which the Dome of
  the Rock, the Islamic shrine, stands. This shrine
  was completed in 691 CE, a considerable amount of
  time ago, so it reveals really interesting clues
  on what the climate has done in the past 1,500
  years or so. And again, there were obvious signs
  of changes in climate, which were obviously much
  more recent than the ones noted by scientists
  through the Dead Sea core samples."

• Jeffery David Whippo then went on to visit
  Solomon's stables, an underground vaulted space
  constructed during the time of Herod.
  Unfortunately, he was unable to take any samples
  due to the fact that it is now a Muslim prayer
  hall. He was, however, able to observe that,
  around 1099, it was converted to a cavalry stable
  by the Crusaders, which meant the interior
  environment was perfect for horses.
