Descend to the Dead Sea, lowest point on the earth's surface, and tour the newly-excavated Al Maqdas the (Baptism Site). Noted on the mosaic map of Madaba which makes it easy to believe that it was the spot where John the Baptist lived in the wildness, and where Jesus was baptized in the waters of the Jordan River. The extensive water channels, cisterns and baptismal fonts, as well as the impressive size of the very early (3rd-4th Century) pilgrimage churches on this site, certainly suggest that this is where the earliest Christian pilgrims believed the Baptism took place.
