A Biblical wonder  -  Dramatic moment the River Zin is reborn as flash flood sweeps across arid landscape during the spring of 2014, in Israel's Negev Desert
  • Thrilled spectators gathered to watch the powerful display of nature
  • It is believed that the flood occurs when heavy rain falls in mountainous regions several miles away from the massive riverbed made of chalk.
  • The river’s source is upon the slopes of the Ramon Crater, one of three Negev craters famed for its geological formations.
  • The natural wonder is described in the Jewish Bible
