Ein es-Sultan Spring - Palestine

 Last wednesday I've been to a book fair in Coimbra but to be honest, didn't pay attention to the books because I saw boxes full os postcards and that caught all my attention. I didn't have much time but I found some older but nice cards and my supreme joy was when I realized I found this card from a missing UNESCO site. Well, I wasn't sure when I bought it but I confirmed later that Elisha Spring, also known as Ein es-Sultan, is part of the Palestine site Ancient Jericho/Tell es-Sultan, classified in 2023.
 
 Ancient Jerico/Tell es-Sultan is located northwest of present-day Jericho in the Jordan Valley in Palestine, the property is an oval-shaped Tell, or mound, that contains the prehistorical deposits of human activity, and includes the adjacent perennial spring of ‘Ain es-Sultan. - in: https://whc.unesco.org
 
Elisha's Spring, also known as Ein es-Sultan or the Prophet's Fountain, is a freshwater spring in Jericho, near the Tell es-Sultan archaeological site. It's renowned for its biblical association with the prophet Elisha, who is said to have healed the spring's waters. The spring is a significant historical and religious site. - in: AI
