Forget the Suez Canal. Don't bother reviving the Pharaonic Canal. Let's use the Jordan Rift Valley to connect the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Look at the map. I am thinking about a sea-level canal like the Suez, so much of valley will be flooded. The Dead Sea and Sea of Galilee will both be absorbed.
Is it feasible? When could it be done? Do you need modern industry (steam shovels and such) to do it as in Panama? Or, can it be done with massed human labor like the old Pharaonic Canal? Other questions like that.
