What I'd like to talk today is two famous seas very much mentioned in the Islamic and Christian scriptures. It is said that there exists two seas that is beside each other, but the contents of the seas do not mix with one another. That's what I knew previously, upon careful research, this is the story. Any mistakes/errors are purely a mis-representation of facts from various documentations/reports I read. I try as much to do a proper cut and paste summary from what I've found.
What you see in the photo here are two lakes (which is actually in called a 'sea' from ancient times, but categorically it is still a lake) that is actually connected by River Jordan which goes through Syria, Israel and Jordan. I won't go to the beginning of the river, since there are four difference sources giving water into the river and all gather at Lake Hula, near the border of Syria and Israel (but I don't know which country it really resides in).
Now, the Sea of Galilea (also known as Tiberias Lake) is 213 meters below sea level (2nd lowest lake in the world) and water flows 25km downwards from Hula Lake through River Jordan. It is a freshwater lake, a very popular resort area in Israel, have very good flora and fauna and abundance with fishes.
At the south tip of the lake, the River Jordan continues its journey to the Dead Sea (420 meters below sea level, being the lowest lake in the world). Interestingly, there is no outlet from the Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea, in Palestine, Israel and Jordan has no problem with water spillage due to the high evaporation rate against the very low rainfall. In fact, in these few years, the water level is getting lower as compared to earlier years. It is the second saltiest (11 times as salty as the Mediterranean sea) place in the world where only unique creatures thrives. It's high saline content makes anyone lying down in it floats without any problems, and no floras or faunas, or fishes can live it the waters.
A quick summary on the reason why Dead Sea do not get the same 'life' from River Jordan that Sea of Galilea gets is due to the water movement in the Sea of Galilea. It seems that as the water travel south in Galilea, the vegetation started to be of a saline vegetation, and this issue is growing rapidly northwards. Scientist blames this on the channel that diverted water in 1964, which damaged the eco-system.
I won't delve into a thesis on this story. It's just to give an overview of what I was trying to seek an answer to. Practically just to quench my question on the story of "The Two Seas that don't mix" that I've heard in my childhood days.

The pretty daughter's eyes twinkled, and he thought he caught a http://storyah44.info/rcp.html swift, direct gleam from under the long lashes--but he was not sure.. How much? Three http://startso11.info/www.torentty.pl.html thousand dollars.. Here was an ally worthy of the http://startso11.info/www.ultrasgame.com+www.ultrasgame.com.html cause.. The contradiction to my theory of dreams in the case of another female patient, the most witty among all my dreamers, was solved in a simpler manner, although according to the scheme that the non-fulfillment of one wish http://startso11.info/www.kppwa%C5%82cz.wp.pl.html signifies the fulfillment of another.. What else the Colonel saw there Heaven only knows! He felt his inmost secrets plucked from him--his whole soul laid bare--his vanity, belligerency, gallantry--even his medieval chivalry, penetrated, http://startso11.info/hypernwa.pl.html and yet illuminated, in that single glance.. The young girl, however, broke the silence without looking up. http://startso11.info/arsz.html. This he provisioned http://wowyesaf.info/rozk%C5%82ady.html with a jug of water, a starch box full of white corn-meal, and a wide strip of lean razorback bacon.. Scores of little island vessels had my grandfather seen come over the horizon, and cast anchor in the port. http://startso11.info/www.wsb.e-moodle.pl.html. What a singular power is habit! Up to this time Elder Brown had been entirely innocent of transgression, but with the old alcoholic fire in his veins, twenty years dropped from his shoulders, and a feeling came over him http://rebestal.info/brw.com.pl.html familiar to every man who has been in his cups.. The unconscious wish-feelings evidently strive to assert themselves during the day also, and the fact of transference and the psychoses teach us that http://storyah44.info/podanie+o+przed%C5%82u%C5%BCenie+urlopu+wychowawczego.html they endeavor to penetrate to consciousness and dominate motility by the road leading through the system of the foreconscious.. At this moment a boy with a gun came strolling along the road, and hearing Mr. http://startso11.info/MONK+GEORGE.html. The fact that in order to attain consciousness the emotions must traverse an http://startso11.info/kurort.html unalterable series of events or succession of instances, as is betrayed through their alteration by the censor, has helped us to draw a comparison from spatiality.. Perhaps it was http://startso11.info/przychodnia+wojskowa.html only the natural relief of expressing a pent-up sorrow.. The shaft he at once interprets as the vagina by referring http://startso11.info/SPIRYTYZM.html to the soft upholstering of the walls.. Once, in passing the plate, http://startso11.info/AA+TARNOW.html he slipped one o' them peppermint lozenges with the letters stamped on it 'I love you' for me to take.. The intensities of the individual ideas become capable of discharge in their entirety, and, proceeding from one http://startso11.info/www.pl9.kom.pl.html conception to the other, they thus form single presentations endowed with marked intensity.. They often http://startso11.info/foryczno%C5%9B%C4%87.html unite to produce condensation as if no contradiction existed, or they form compromises for which we should never forgive our thoughts, but which we frequently approve of in our actions.. He was so friendly, and thoughtful, and genial, that even his jokes had the air of http://startso11.info/domy+opieki+spolechnej.html graceful benedictions.. Brains he may have--a strong arm he must have: so he http://startso11.info/1cal.html proves the more important claim first.. As I am dissatisfied with this state of affairs, http://startso11.info/www.magadam.+onet+pl.html I am glad to dwell upon another view-point which seems to raise the value of my efforts...
