The Dead Greedy Sea

The dead sea is a hypersaline body of water with about 33.7% salt (about 8.6 times more than that of an ocean). It's one of the deepest lakes with depth of over 370m. The surface and shores depth about 423m below sea level making it the lowest land surface in the world. It's so salty that there're no activities of macroscopic organisms such as fishes and algae compositions. But only contain a few microbial fungi and bacteria survive with in. Occasionally, it spits up coagulations of bitumen on the surface which the Egyptians once used for mummification. It's hypersalinity makes it easy to float on its surface because of much natural buoyancy. The dead sea is about 67km long and 18km wide (at its widest point).  All these qualities makes it non habitable for life to thrive in the dead sea. There's almost zero activities of macroscopic organisms in these waters just a few surviving microbial fungi and bacteria exist as earlier stated. The dead sea never give
