35. Nir Arielli: A Living History of the Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is a contradiction: famed for its healing properties, yet deadly to many lifeforms. Civilizations have built ancient cities and fortresses around its shores for centuries. Nir Arielli, Professor of International History at the University of Leeds, uncovers the lake’s complex history, tracing its religious, economic, military and scientific importance. Amid environmental degradation and renewed conflict, Arielli makes a powerful case for why the Dead Sea must be saved.
