Siwa Oasis, Egypt. The 95% salt concentration increases the density of water and buoyancy, making it so you can’t sink | source
That’s not even the Siwa Oasis, that’s just one of its many salt pools, each is often 4 meters deep, while the main Oasis is 19 meters deep.
Here we can see a salt pool that is connected to the main Oasis.
Fun fact about the Siwa Oasis, it was home to the Oracle of Ammon and is historically known as the Oasis of Amun Ra while under Egyptian rule, the Oasis of Zeus Ammon while under Greek rule and the Oasis of Jupiter Ammon under Roman rule, where the Temple of Amun was located.
The original name the earliest Egyptian records give is sḫt jꜣmw
meaning “Field of Trees”.
Another fun fact, classical authors refer to the region as Ammonium, which is obviously derived from Ammon, Amun, which give us ammonia and ammonite.
The Romans called the ammonium chloride they collected from deposits near the Temple of Jupiter-Amun sal ammoniacus (salt of Amun) because of proximity to the nearby temple.
Ammonia, as well as being the chemical, is a genus name in the foraminifera. Both these foraminiferans and ammonites bear spiral shells resembling a ram’s, Ammon’s horns.
The regions of the hippocampus in the brain are called the cornu ammonis, literally “Amun’s Horns”, due to the horned appearance of the dark and light bands of cellular layers.
When Alexander the Great occupied Egypt in late 332 BC, he was regarded as a liberator, thus conquering Egypt without a fight.
He was pronounced son of Amun by the oracle at Siwa. Amun was identified as a form of Zeus and Alexander often referred to Zeus-Ammon as his true father, and after his death, currency depicted him adorned with the Horns of Ammon as a symbol of his divinity.
The tradition of depicting Alexander the Great with the horns of Amun continued for centuries, with Alexander being referred to in the Quran as “Dhu al-Qarnayn” (The Two-Horned One), a reference to his depiction on Middle Eastern coins and statuary as having horns of Ammon.
An amazing thing about water with high salt concentration (like the Dead Sea) is that you can use it to treat psoriasis, and skin infections. I don’t know much about it, but I would bet that it’s due to the high mineralization along with the salt, which is antiseptic. So it appears to be really, really good for your skin.
