Interesting collecting theme and recital.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Many years ago visiting Israel, we stopped at a site along the Israeli side of the Jordan River which was said to be considered representative of the baptismal site.&nbsp; Biblical archaeologists say different, with much of the research being done in the more recent past. </p><p><br /></p><p>About 15 years ago, I was working on the construction of a water treatment plant for the Government of Jordan along the Jordan River.&nbsp; About 10 km or so upstream of our plant was the baptismal site ascribed by the archaeologists.&nbsp; It is not on the banks of the Jordan River but nearby on a small tributary to the Jordan River.&nbsp; The biblical accounts speak of &quot;Bethany across the Jordan&quot; which would indeed place it in the current country of Jordan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
