  SPEAKER_00: Are you ready to look in the mystery mirror?
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: Alright detectives, let's begin.

  SPEAKER_00: Round one, you are a place.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: People travel from all over to visit you.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: You are filled with water.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: There is a lot that is unusual about you.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: You are filled with a very high amount of salt and something called minerals.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: Do you know what you are yet?
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: Round two.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: You are between countries.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Visitors sometimes bring home products made from your mineral rich water and your mud.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: Your name is a little confusing because you're not really what your name makes you sound like.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: Now, do you have any idea of what you could be?
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: Round three.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: Fish do not live in your water.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: People can float easily on you.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: Even though you are called a sea, you are actually a lake.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: Now do you know what you are?
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Are you ready for the reveal?
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Look in the mirror.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: You are the Dead Sea.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: So even though it's called a sea, it doesn't actually connect to the ocean.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's located between Israel and Jordan in a region called the Jordan Rift Valley.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: And because there's so much salt in the water, people float much more easily than in normal water.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: And many people use Dead Sea products, including minerals and mud, for skin care and lots of other uses.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: And the Dead Sea is mentioned in Tanakh in biblical texts as Yam Hamalach and Yam Haarava.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: Get ready for game time.

  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to list ten things that I would bring to the Dead Sea.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: Pay attention and see how many you can remember.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Ready?
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to the Dead Sea and I'm going to pack a water bottle, sunscreen, a towel, a swimsuit, snacks, sunglasses, a hat, a change of clothes, goggles, and a bag for all the wet stuff.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: Now how many of those items can you remember?
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: Name as many as you can, and then I have one more challenge for you.
• 4:17

• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: What did I pack to go to the Dead Sea?
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, now I'm about to leave the Dead Sea.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm packing up all my stuff, and I see I only have nine things with me.
