After completing a degree in religion I lived in Amman, Jordan for a year and a half. Even though Amman is just a hop, skip, and jump away from the Holy Lands, my first visit to Israel did not come until I was returning home to America. It was actually just a seven-hour layover at the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv- I didn't even leave the airport. I knew that security would be tight at the Tel Aviv airport, I just had no idea that I was soon to become another victim of Israel's human rights' violations. When I landed in Tel Aviv I asked a security guard where I needed to go to make a connecting flight. He did not answer, so I figured that there might be a language barrier. I repeated my question, slowly, using lots of hand gestures. He just looked at me. I also speak Arabic, and all of the signs at the Ben Gurion Airport are in both Arabic and Hebrew, so I asked if he speaks Arabic.

A google earth inspired map that shows the locations of over 100,000 historical sites in North America, including pictures and information about those places.  Great tool to use for history teachers to pull their students into the world around them.

This is nice site but don't forget the Karpele's Documents on SAS
