Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 http://www.salt.org.il/frame_prod.html Continuous and reliable supplies of Salt, were a matter of such importance that the establishment of early settlements, the rise and decay of civilisations, demographic shifts of populations and the development of agriculture, were intimately related to the immediate availability of salt. The power to control a population's salt supply, was power over life and death. Erratic sea level changes, particularly in the Mediterranean prevented some of these civilisations from obtaining consistent salt supplies, causing them to migrate or decay, conquor or succumb to others. ===== [...there'll be love and laughter, and peace ever after, just you wait and see... ---Vera Lynn] Celebrate 's 10th Birthday!
