Megiddo (Hebrew: מגידו; Arabic: مجیدو, Tell al-Mutesellim, "The Tell of the Governor") is a tell in northern Israel near Kibbutz Megiddo, about 30 km south-east of Haifa, known for its historical, geographical, and theological importance, especially under its Greek name Armageddon. In ancient times Megiddo was an important city-state. Excavations have unearthed 26 layers of ruins, indicating a long period of settlement. Megiddo is strategically located at the head of a pass through the Carmel Ridge overlooking the Jezreel Valley from the west.
The site is now protected as Megiddo National Park and is a World Heritage Site.
Megiddo is also known as Greek: Μεγιδδώ/Μαγεδδών, Megiddó/Mageddón in the Septuagint; Latin: Mageddo; Assyrian: Magiddu, Magaddu; Magidda and Makida in the Amarna tablets; Egyptian: Maketi, Makitu, and Makedo. The Book of Revelation mentions an apocalyptic battle at Armageddon, a name derived from the Hebrew "Har Megiddo" meaning "Mount of Megiddo". "Armageddon" has become a byword for the end of the world.

Megiddo was an important site in the ancient world and archaeologists have unearthed some 26 layers of ruins at the site. It is a “Tel”, a man-made mound created by many generations of people rebuilding on the same spot. It is at a strategic place located along the Carmel Mountain Ridge and overlooking the Jezreel Valley. Several historic battles have taken place at the site. There is a tunnel to a spring, designed so that Megiddo residents would not have to leave the safety of the city walls to obtain water. Although it is referred to some 12 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, it is perhaps most famous among Christians for its mention by the Book of Revelation (where it is called “Armageddon”, translated into Greek from the Hebrew “Har Megiddo”, with the word Har meaning a hill) as a batt...
