Megiddo is one of the first Regional Councils and established
already during the Mandate era in 1945. It governs 13 settlements
(El'yakim, Giv'at Oz, Gal'ed, Daliah, HaZore'a, Yoqneam [Moshava],
Megiddo, Midrakh Oz, Mishmar HaEmeq [first settlement in 1926],
Ein HaEmeq, Ein HaShofet, Ramot Menashe, Ramat HaShofet).
The emblem shows a lion taken from an ancient seal found in the
excavation of Tel Megiddo (Megiddo Mound – the same place
that gave name to Armageddon ...).
This seal with the inscription "LeShama'a Eved
Yerov'am" (To Sama'a , slave of Yerovam) is dated to the 8th
century B.C. and now kept at Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Photo of
the original seal at www.daat.ac.il [picture]
The seal also appears on a stamp issued in 2008.
