Day 5. The Negev Desert. Mitzpe Ramon.

Colorful sands, caravan path of incense, secrets of Nabatean civilization. Mahtesh Ramon is a geological mystery of the planet. Foldings of rocks not covered with forests, gorges with a quiet murmur of a stream, incredible geological phenomena ... Amazing biblical stories and fantastic, unique sensations of the infinity of space. Silence. And the stars are there.

The Bible often shows us examples of how in the desert streams of consciousness turn to the heart of man, no longer obscured by the fog of ordinary affairs and old ideas. The desert is a time of divine action. We are transported into the first days of creation...to the beginning of our awareness of our own essence. We speak silently, in an inner voice without words, about the hidden. And we listen to the silence, we look into the infinite, starry sky. We started at the beginning.

We will go down to Ramon Crater with a unique geological history. Presumably, the crater was formed by prolonged washing of soft rock by the life-giving waters of the Ramon stream. It is the largest pit in the world – a crater that arose not from the fall of a meteorite, but as a result of intense erosion, which lasted for several million years: waters slowly but surely washed away the soil, exposing the geological layers of different epochs. Today, the dimensions of Mahtesh Ramona are 40 kilometers long and 8 kilometers wide, the depth of the crater is 500 meters. Erosion is only the most common version of the emergence of this unique crater.Reject to the end version of the fall of a meteorite is not possible because of the found here rare for Israel natural formations and traces of unique ancient animals. One of the unique phenomena at the bottom of the pit, a geological phenomenon: an unimaginable number of sand formations, having the form of regular prisms from 3 to 6 faces, piled into piles like blanks for a carpentry workshop. This rare phenomenon appears to be the result of magma emissions followed by the melting of sandy rock on the hilltop to a liquid state. And during the hardening, it crystallizes in the form of quartz bars, similar to huge... pencils!
