I don't understand how this is still a surprise to that many people. The same happened to the Aral Sea when water was diverted to agriculture, and that sea is gone today, only a small section of it is still left. Making the same mistake over and over again without learning is going to be the doom of our species one day.
Easy now. It won’t doom our species, but it is very short sighted, selfish, and mean spirited, though. The water that was diverted away from the Aral Sea benefited one country, the Soviet Union, at the expense of the countries which depended on the fishing and tourism that arose from the Aral Sea. Israel controls the Sea of Galilee discharge and benefits from it, but Israel has other commercial interests in the Dead Sea, and it would surprise me if they sat and did nothing while two heavily laden trains collided. Nuts!
Lake Mead and Lake Powell in Colorado are drying, As well with Lake Poopo in Bolivia, Lake Badwater, Lake Chad, and Owens Lake. I am sure there are more. Groundwater in the Midwest, Southwest and West all disappearing.

@@tobyihli9470 "Soviet Union, at the expense of the countries which depended on the fishing and tourism" What countries? All countries around Aral Sea were part of Soviet Union.
I've been saying this for years I worked in the plumbing industry and the amount of water that you see that goes to waste just from leaky faucets it's insane cuz people don't get that once it's gone it's gone. The way this planet is going I don't think it's got more then 25years of the way we consume water.
I grew up there and walked those beaches as a boy. I feel like one of the last witnesses of a dying world that future generations won't be able to even imagine. Behold! a planet, used to thrive with life, become as dead as the disappearing dead Sea.
Nonsense. Change always happens. I am sure cavemen saw all sort of wonder that eroded away. When the global population declines after a big war the waters will stop being used up and the Dead Sea will fill up again. After that little children will walk along new shores. Your short life is NOTHING in the grand scheme of things.
I also worry that all that pulling of underground waters, minerals and other natural resources is not only creating the sinkholes but the heating of our planet's core temperature is also creating underground deserts. Its actually scary.
@@patandderry8416 right? Nevada use to have one of the largest inland seas. There's still a ton of water underground here today because of it. They have found banana tree seeds in Oregon. But, banana does not grow there. It's still a rain forest, just not a tropical one.
There's more life on this planet now than there ever has been its even greener than it ever has been, the dead sea has been dead of life besides bacteria for millions of years, get a life F,F,S.
I don't understand why the sink holes are a mystery. No matter if it is limestone or salt the principle is the same-underground erosion. The speed might be a question but the principles are the same. The Great Salt Lake is also getting smaller for most of the same reasons. Why are people suprised that lakes get smaller if you divert the water?
nonsense--they are shallow seas with NO outlet of any kind except the canal to utah lake and only some water--the salton sea is a fake lake created when a levee broke--there is zero use of very salty water numskull

You can blame man, but isnt man just a part of the earth's processes? Dead sea creatures built up as pollution for millions of years on the sea floor before there were processes to break them down. Thats how we got oil. Animals have caused land characteristics to change for millions of years. We don't call them irresponsible. Man's effect on the earth is undeniable. But I'll put my money on the earth every time. There was a time when there was no Dead Sea. Just like dude saying now the Jordan Valley is green. Not all change is bad. Do people think just how much the earth changed in a matter of the blink of an eye with the recession of the glaciers just some 10 to 12 thousand years ago. Sea levels rose 300 to 400 feet. People that were alivevthen probably watched as the seas rose 10 plus feet just in their lifetimes. We are taught to believe man is bad. Some bad things happen, but its not necessarily because man is bad. Man does what he has to survive. Look at the Salton Sea in southern California. It was a thriving oasis 50 to 60 years ago. It wasnt even there 120 years ago. Then it formed. It had a period of balance, but water continued to drain into it as lakes do, and it gained salt every year, eventually becoming too saline. Its dead now. Just saying.
LOL! It s evaporating faster than water can flow into it from the Jordan river, nobody is draining it. This is prophesied in the Bible if you read one. It is also prophesied that fish will thrive in it. Fish are now thriving in the now fresh water in the exposed sink holes.
The dead sea being the lowest place on earth means it cant flow anywhere except up in the air through evaporation so minerals and salts just build up & up, coming from Bea Shiva down into the dead sea valley is the most awe inspiring view in the world, in my opinion, its like the valley of Gwangi spectacular prehistoric landscape.
Wow! I am impressed. This was a true documentary. It didn’t try to tell you what to think. Instead it informed you and helped you understand the situation.
But, I'm rather curious. You and I (and every person commenting here, and every human on earth) requires water for survival. How can we condemn others for using water when we do it, ourselves? How do we know WE aren't contributing to water depletion, somewhere along the line? Maybe we should just stop using water, and see how well WE fare.
@@noahhyde8769 We know it if we aren't watering lawns, building pools and taking baths instead of showers. It could be argued even that is too much and we should instead wash with a damp rag but there comes a point where the blame can no longer be pushed onto the individual and must be directed at industries draining aquifers for short term gain and governments for allowing all this to happen.
I visited twice the Dead Sea before and I realized when I personally saw it that it is possible sea water can vanish from the ocean or seas no matter how big it is when men continues to cosume it.
did it burn your private areas? i'm quite curious. i don't know if your male of female but it would be useful to know which if i am to decide if i want to go before i die. which is soon. unfortunately. It's a big downer when you find out that you mean nothing to your so called friends when you tell them your life expectancy.
@@wolu9456 no I doubt it burns, maybe if you have cuts. I hope you will be well, remember there are different types of friends in your life. Some are very superficial and just there for a laugh and fun which is good and then you have that one or two friends that are the ones you share your deepest thoughts with. They are the ones that cares on another level and it could be a partner or a family member too.
I've heard why the Dead Sea is going away. The farmers are using up the water in the Jordan River. I live in California, and the Salton Sea and Mono Lake are called the "two dead seas that Los Angeles killed". It's pathetic, people should be ashamed!
I vacationed in Jordan in 1982 and had developed painful itching hives all over my body. Swimming in the Dead Sea was the only thing that gave me relief.
I lived there and there is no spirituality, absolutely no spirituality, no spirituality than let us say in Ottawa or Canberra : most of modern Jerusalem was actually built by the same architects and engineers who built the two others. Old Jerusalem is a small-size Disneyland park and is not so old, it is late Ottoman style (from 1450 to 1750) bar let us say a dozen churches in ruins excavated by the archeologists. The most authentic cities of Galilee which are the oldest, like Nazareth, date from the 18h-19th century, like Quebec City, never further back in time. There is no interest even in Jewish religion except for the political aspect and the money to derive from it : those who flaunt it most just don't believe in a single tenet of it except for the occult powers of kabbalah and when it comes to kabbalah it is new age hinduism of the worst kind : actually far more people do yoga than anything else as soon as they experience the slightest questioning about spiritual matters though they are only a minority among total yahoos. Same thing for Islam and Christianity : they are there to fleece the tourists. Most of the Jews are some sort of second rate Hollywood actors that haven't made it in Hollywood proper, they play various roles in a film and they consider Israel as a decor : when they are finished with their job they gather in air-conditioned shopping malls. They are not interested by the country they have under their feet. They don't inhabit it, they live in a decor. When people ask me to pray for peace in Jerusalem I answer "the day absolutely nobody pray in Jerusalem pray any longer, this will be a very great day." I would no longer call that city Jerusalem but Edenton.
Older poor women are cheap labor. A plantation like situation. Israel takes the Palestian water and cheap labor. Holy water? So bad. It is not beautiful. It is ugly and dying.

We learned about dead sea and it’s excess salinity in school….always planning to travel to experience it in person…..but this is really sad how planet is getting destroyed day by day
We keep taking from the planet. POLLUTING the air with CO2, chemicals and particulates of war and fires and wonder why the climate is changing. Same thing with the Great Salt Lake area. When are we going to talk over population? Not since the two world wars have the earth been under attack. The hole in the ozone layer caused then.
isn't that sink holes are remnants of underground rivers, lakes, and acquifers that also dried up, above it are pressure cause by the weight of the ground itself or perhaps heavy infrastructure that was built in that area that cause the ground to depressed and make revealing holes as a result.
Name me any place on earth and I will tell you stories about human destruction. I just saw a documentary on Netflix where it was said that in the last 50 years humanity has killed of almost 70 % of all wild life on earth. Humans are short sighted and destructive, just read some of the 1000 UN reports. I have seen scientists say earth can sustain like 2,5 billion people in a sustainable way. We are nearly 8 billion people and in 80 years 3 billion more will come mostly in Africa, Middle East and Asia. It's madness if you ask me, much pain and suffering, conflicts and war is coming and no one do anything about it. So enjoy life now if you can.

I met my wife at En Gedi in 1987, I use to work at Moshav Pharan and En Gedi and Eilat was our favourite haunts at the time. It is difficult to under stand what happened there. I remember an Israeli telling us that the water of the sea is retreating but not in my wildest dreams thought is is that much. Shocking!
Wow. Fascinating. I've been going there as much as I can for 50 years, and didn't realize all of what is going on. I was there the day the sinkholes opened--staying at Ein Gedi's vacation rooms right at the edge of the water. After going for medical/mud/sulpher baths, I went back and was stopped going to my room. A sinkhole had opened. Just where I'd walked over that morning to call home. A woman fell in--only several meters down, not hurt: she had a cell phone and was calling friends in the Ein Gedi Kibbutz. (Up high above the Dead Sea.) So she was easily rescued. A man working in the date palms fell into another--also not hurt, but he couldn't get out. Only when he didn't come home from work did they go look for him. So strange....such a wonderous place. I'm an artist and always drew and painted there; did a whole show in which many people wrote in the guest book--''Life comes to the Dead Sea!". So sad to see. Hope, hope, something can be done in time. I'm so glad you did this report. It may help in waking more people up to the situation.
Wow you got lucky, you could have fallen into a hole. Is it really good for your skin? Do you see the difference, doesn't it dry your skin out a lot? The dead sea has always fascinated me.
@@honeybunch5765 Hi! It's very good for your skin indeed. Lots of cosmetics are made from the minerals. After bathing (and a shower to get the salt off), you skin feels like a baby's! Some sort of natural oil.
Something CAN be done. Whether it will be - perhaps not. Will be expensive and (unfortunately) vulnerable to attack by ill-disposed people. But - can be done. BIG siphon (pipeline - BIG one) from the Mediterranean coast over the hills and down to the Dead Sa. Fill it with pumps, then open the valves and let gravity do the rest. And - can put some turbines at the base of the hills on outlet side and make a LOT of electricity free after the initial capital investment and on-going normal maintenance.
The bible says that the dead Sea will be a place where fishermen dry their nets on it's shoreline and the bible has never been wrong!!! It will come back!!! You can trust God's word!!!

@@kirkkirkland7244 Over population is an issue. Religious groups ignore it. In Florida under ground water is being sold to the world. A potential disaster.

There should be no sympathy for the people who did this to nature and then have the audacity to complain about it as if it's some kind of calamity against them
It is the excessieve use of water for their date palm fields etc and harvesting the minerals through evaporation for the cosmetics. As long as money can be made, nothing will happen.

The same issue is also happening in the “Salt Lake” in Utah. It’s drying up now and it’s causing Air issues there, because of the issues of the Salt left in open areas.
This is also Happening with the Lake Meade Reservoir in USA. It’s almost empty now, and when it does disappear, the Hoover Dam will shut down causing loss of Water AND power for many people around the Western Area States of Nevada,Arizona, parts of Mexico and California.
not a good sign, the sinkholes is the result of the mudflats drying up and creating chasms, and turkey soil is not the strong either, it hardens, then crumbles into dust
You missed the whole Jordan river water diversion cause. Or are you simply trying to divert our attention to the real cause of this disaster? The mudflats are a symptom of the water diversion by Israel to control the water before it reaches West Bank, Palestine. Israeli political policy is the true cause of this disaster.
Its the Middle Easr and North Africa story...take and never put back. They have destroyed the environment over centuries....forests cut down, no replanting, wildlife indiscriminately wiped out and now a sea dies.
The Arabs in Gaza are flying incendiary balloons into Israel causing extreme damage to the environment. Just goes to show who is the proper owner of the land.
I cycled thru Israel, and, as we could pitch our tent anywhere we liked, after a glorious downhill ride from Yerushalayim to the Dead Sea, that lasted 4 hours, l pitched my tent, after sundown, in an area that said " No camping". Too dark to move elsewhere. Next morning l came across another sign warning us of leopards! Lucky me. Great to see the area again in this video.
This is what causes conflict. These villagers can't even build their community without these illegal settlement taking not only land but stealing anything of value. Hope things changes 🙏
No, those who listen to the devil destroy everything that they touch. The bible refers to the original rebel, as: the abomination that brings desolation. He spread his rebellion into mankind, and it shows.
wow I visited here in 85, floated in the sea, showered off afterwards a thriving tourist attraction - - shocking. But even then they were saying that the sea level was dropping
No, we're not killing it. We don't have that ability. We are only making it uninhabitable for humans. Mother Nature will take care of herself with or without us.
Very frustrating seeing educated but bigoted people, knowing full well what they are doing, but are not prepared to do anything to fix the problem, in a region with plenty of sun, they could use solar power to help pump water back in to supply everyone.
the dead sea is being depleted by the Israelis, "There was a desert here now it's a green valley". the guy is making millions a year, yet the consequences are huge for turning a desert into green land, it is not sustainable.
That statement has been proven wrong. It’s only what they teach settlers to justify their illegal settlements. I have British trade documents from 1922 describing the advanced agriculture of Palestinians who developed and perfected the practice of grafting. The British established trade with Palestine to import Palestinian agriculture and practices. The Zionists choose to use that diatribe for their own propaganda developed as part of their Hasbara to avoid feeling guilty of ethnically cleansing the indigenous Palestinians.

Some years ago (30+) there was a proposal to drive a tunnel/ pipe from the mediteranean to the dead sea to replenish the "fresh" water that is diverted from the Jordan. While the Med has a hight salinity it is nowhere near that of the dead sea so it would improve the situation.
How old is the dead sea? I've seen estimates that range from 6000 to approximately 50,000 years. Did a little research and discovered that the Dead Sea has had a very dynamic history. There is usually another side to the story.

I had a dream once if being in an area like this There was a pool of white water surrounded by raised walls like these sink holes and children were playing around it happy and they invited me into the water with them and it was really warm and made my skin feel good the pool was probably only around 20 is feet wide and in a circle The kids had dark skin and long dark brown hair and were wearing cloth clothing that had blue, red and black maybe some yellow designs on them along the border and if I remember right they had hats on to I did have the dream around 6 years ago and all i can say I’d it was beautiful and very relaxing I wish I could dream it again Weird a real place like I dreamed of randomly actually exists in reality it’s sad it’s getting destroyed
It’s a pretty simple fix, it’s lower then any sea so simply place a large pipeline to the dead from whatever seas is closest , it won’t need pumping so as not to harm sea life etc, that will push the water table back up , then build reservoirs to capture the winter floods and you have water and there will be no further erosion

The argument over water is thousands of years old, but the massive increase in population, coupled with large scale industrial agriculture, industry, and people in houses with running water, hot showers, and flush toilets is all LESS THAN 100 YEARS OLD. Desalination and "water from air" are but drops in the bucket of what is needed for all these people to survive in a desert.
That smug man who said Israelis pay a lot more for the water? Who has access to 3-4 times as much on occupied land. Give them more water and they can certainly afford to pay more.

Thats how we got oil. Animals have caused land characteristics to change for millions of years. We don't call them irresponsible. Man's effect on the earth is undeniable. But I'll put my money on the earth every time. There was a time when there was no Dead Sea. Just like dude saying now the Jordan Valley is green. Not all change is bad. Do people think just how much the earth changed in a matter of the blink of an eye with the recession of the glaciers just some 10 to 12 thousand years ago. Sea levels rose 300 to 400 feet. People that were alivevthen probably watched as the seas rose 10 plus feet just in their lifetimes. We are taught to believe man is bad. Some bad things happen, but its not necessarily because man is bad. Man does what he has to survive. Look at the Salton Sea in southern California. It was a thriving oasis 50 to 60 years ago. It wasnt even there 120 years ago. Then it formed. It had a period of balance, but water continued to drain into it as lakes do, and it gained salt every year, eventually becoming too saline. Its dead now. Just saying.
The more they drain out the more it disappear. Thanks for a very honest documentary
LOL! It s evaporating faster than water can flow into it from the Jordan river, nobody is draining it. This is prophesied in the Bible if you read one. It is also prophesied that fish will thrive in it. Fish are now thriving in the now fresh water in the exposed sink holes.
The dead sea being the lowest place on earth means it cant flow anywhere except up in the air through evaporation so minerals and salts just build up & up, coming from Bea Shiva down into the dead sea valley is the most awe inspiring view in the world, in my opinion, its like the valley of Gwangi spectacular prehistoric landscape.
Wow! I am impressed. This was a true documentary. It didn’t try to tell you what to think. Instead it informed you and helped you understand the situation.
But, I'm rather curious. You and I (and every person commenting here, and every human on earth) requires water for survival. How can we condemn others for using water when we do it, ourselves? How do we know WE aren't contributing to water depletion, somewhere along the line? Maybe we should just stop using water, and see how well WE fare.
@@noahhyde8769 We know it if we aren't watering lawns, building pools and taking baths instead of showers. It could be argued even that is too much and we should instead wash with a damp rag but there comes a point where the blame can no longer be pushed onto the individual and must be directed at industries draining aquifers for short term gain and governments for allowing all this to happen.

I lived there and there is no spirituality, absolutely no spirituality, no spirituality than let us say in Ottawa or Canberra : most of modern Jerusalem was actually built by the same architects and engineers who built the two others. Old Jerusalem is a small-size Disneyland park and is not so old, it is late Ottoman style (from 1450 to 1750) bar let us say a dozen churches in ruins excavated by the archeologists. The most authentic cities of Galilee which are the oldest, like Nazareth, date from the 18h-19th century, like Quebec City, never further back in time. There is no interest even in Jewish religion except for the political aspect and the money to derive from it : those who flaunt it most just don't believe in a single tenet of it except for the occult powers of kabbalah and when it comes to kabbalah it is new age hinduism of the worst kind : actually far more people do yoga than anything else as soon as they experience the slightest questioning about spiritual matters though they are only a minority among total yahoos. Same thing for Islam and Christianity : they are there to fleece the tourists. Most of the Jews are some sort of second rate Hollywood actors that haven't made it in Hollywood proper, they play various roles in a film and they consider Israel as a decor : when they are finished with their job they gather in air-conditioned shopping malls. They are not interested by the country they have under their feet. They don't inhabit it, they live in a decor. When people ask me to pray for peace in Jerusalem I answer "the day absolutely nobody pray in Jerusalem pray any longer, this will be a very great day." I would no longer call that city Jerusalem but Edenton.

What are we doing exactly to destroy the planet? You believe the nonsense.
I met my wife at En Gedi in 1987, I use to work at Moshav Pharan and En Gedi and Eilat was our favourite haunts at the time. It is difficult to under stand what happened there. I remember an Israeli telling us that the water of the sea is retreating but not in my wildest dreams thought is is that much. Shocking!
Wow. Fascinating. I've been going there as much as I can for 50 years, and didn't realize all of what is going on. I was there the day the sinkholes opened--staying at Ein Gedi's vacation rooms right at the edge of the water. After going for medical/mud/sulpher baths, I went back and was stopped going to my room. A sinkhole had opened. Just where I'd walked over that morning to call home. A woman fell in--only several meters down, not hurt: she had a cell phone and was calling friends in the Ein Gedi Kibbutz. (Up high above the Dead Sea.) So she was easily rescued. A man working in the date palms fell into another--also not hurt, but he couldn't get out. Only when he didn't come home from work did they go look for him.
So strange....such a wonderous place. I'm an artist and always drew and painted there; did a whole show in which many people wrote in the guest book--''Life comes to the Dead Sea!". So sad to see. Hope, hope, something can be done in time.
I'm so glad you did this report. It may help in waking more people up to the situation.
Wow you got lucky, you could have fallen into a hole. Is it really good for your skin? Do you see the difference, doesn't it dry your skin out a lot? The dead sea has always fascinated me.
@@honeybunch5765 Hi! It's very good for your skin indeed. Lots of cosmetics are made from the minerals. After bathing (and a shower to get the salt off), you skin feels like a baby's! Some sort of natural oil.
Something CAN be done. Whether it will be - perhaps not. Will be expensive and (unfortunately) vulnerable to attack by ill-disposed people. But - can be done. BIG siphon (pipeline - BIG one) from the Mediterranean coast over the hills and down to the Dead Sa. Fill it with pumps, then open the valves and let gravity do the rest. And - can put some turbines at the base of the hills on outlet side and make a LOT of electricity free after the initial capital investment and on-going normal maintenance.

I have been to the dead sea a few years back. It was still good at that time
The same issue is also happening in the “Salt Lake” in Utah. It’s drying up now and it’s causing Air issues there, because of the issues of the Salt left in open areas.
About 20 years ago, I flew over the Salt lake, and the salt was a white lining the sea as a soap scum ring around a bath tub.

You missed the whole Jordan river water diversion cause. Or are you simply trying to divert our attention to the real cause of this disaster?

Very frustrating seeing educated but bigoted people, knowing full well what they are doing, but are not prepared to do anything to fix the problem, in a region with plenty of sun, they could use solar power to help pump water back in to supply everyone.
the dead sea is being depleted by the Israelis, "There was a desert here now it's a green valley". the guy is making millions a year, yet the consequences are huge for turning a desert into green land, it is not sustainable.
That statement has been proven wrong. It’s only what they teach settlers to justify their illegal settlements. I have British trade documents from 1922 describing the advanced agriculture of Palestinians who developed and perfected the practice of grafting. The British established trade with Palestine to import Palestinian agriculture and practices. The Zionists choose to use that diatribe for their own propaganda developed as part of their Hasbara to avoid feeling guilty of ethnically cleansing the indigenous Palestinians.

@@alanaadams7440 Isaac and Ishmael were actually half-brothers, as they shared the same father.
No one can convince you so thoroughly and completely of their God-given right to own everything they want as the religious fanatics.
@Cuz Im Mom
Seriously Im baffled by the stubborness that these people have. But no worries as now is their time. Then our time will come too to take revenge and everything back from them
@filo betto - "Buying it"?? That would be an improvement over stealing it and stepping on the people it actually belongs to.
But go on. At some point, every person -- every ^nation^ has to deal with its own "Karma".

@@zarminazafar2792 yes except arabs have always been willing to live alongside Jews in Islamic countries. We never did the shit they did to palestinians. One day palestine will be free
How sad this is happening .I have to admit I was unaware of this so it’s a big shock to me..I remember seeing it as a child on a documentary and it was not like this..But that was a very long time ago .It’s another thing being affected by mankind.I think people especially government’s have to start investing money into the environment.Things like this would not happen.Plant more trees they help with water and air.I am old now I feel sad to see what is happening to the beautiful earth.It’s the only one we will have .
Ein Gedi used to be such a beautiful resort, it's so sad that all I have left of it are memories😢
I visited En Gedi kibbutz in 2001...
And bathed in the Dead Sea ..
Looks like people are still bathing there and enjoying a mud bath...
Things are so bad even the dead sea is dying
Hats 📴
Psst....I have a secret to tell you (actually not a secret if people still believed in God), the Dead Sea is actually being brought back to life and it was prophesied thousands of years ago. Read Ezekiel 47 1-12
The things are so bad, that they expect the Dead Sea to raise its water level.. and that, my friend, we would call it miracle!
Dear GOD!!! I’ve walked that road now riddled with sink holes! I stood and enjoyed activities near that area! It was once gorgeous!!!😳…my God, REPENT PEOPLE!!!😢😢😢
Stopping believing in fairy tales could be a good start
Nature will retaliate. Indeed, Nature has already begun to retaliate, and people will have come to realise how insignificant they really are. The dead sea may disappear, but so will mankind in that area. However, Nature's wonderful power in resurrecting itself is magnificent, once dreadful, and greedy people have disappeared.
Amen
"god gave only YOU this land"? and now it looks like "god" is taking it away... How ironic
In reality he's making more land lol

Awesome video, I love to see how mother nature shows she's in control!
Who is the Israeli? Do they think God gives them the right to do as they do?
LOL, He did!
YES. God Almighty gave them that land. And if people had not enslaved them 2 thousand years ago, they would have still been on that land.
Yes, they are the true sons of the God
also jordan takes water.
every country does the same.
with oil and gas, machines work fast. business and industry works fast.
when oil and gas are finished, industry will slow down.
maybe after 200 years.
@@kumababara1631 really? So why don't they take care of the nature and respect the native inhabitants. Theres no excuse.
Dead Sea has an ironic history of prophet Luth (pbuh ) … it’s a curse !! People don’t want to speak though !!

Very decent presentation, the mistakes we human beings make is costing us our planet.
The planet will be fine what's it going to do disappear.
You're one of the few people that sees the big picture.
If the sinking is still going at present pace, the Dead Sea will face its own inevitable death.
That would be an overkill.
It’s just the way nature taking care itself and giving birth to small little ‘seas’
How can you stand next to a deep sinkhole which is like standing on thin ice?
Exactly lol
Ignorance!
When you pull water out of the water table the ground collapses no big secret going on for millennium
