The Jordan River or the Sea of Galilee...I can't remember but salt and oil were not the main ingedients I recall.

Right. The Jordan River is the source of the Sea of Galilee - both considered freshwater. Then the Jordan winds from the Galilee south to the Dead Sea. (It takes 200 river miles to travel the 65 direct miles from the Galilee to the Dead Sea. It's why it wasn't used for travel. Land routes were more direct.)
.
The Dead Sea is the world's second saltiest lake, and the lowest elevation and the lowest body of water on Earth. Its 35% salinity is a ~mixture~ of chlorides, very different from most ocean/sea water which is around 97% sodium chloride. The Dead Sea is like our Great Salt Lake in Utah.

More fascinating to me ... the Dead Sea discharges natural asphalt. It constantly spits up pebbles out of its sea floor fissures, and chunks as big as houses have been found after earthquakes.

It's really a neat region, geology wise.

But it wasn't passed through the Pope's hands.

Gasp! You mean the Holy Water bottlers lied?? I'm shocked. Tee hee.
