	INS Scholarship 1998: Jaffa, 1799
		By recognizing the necessity of capturing Jaffa first, Napoleon was doubtlessly motivated also by the fear that the British, with their absolute mastery of the sea after their victory at Abukir, would seize the opportunity to land Turkish forces at this port and cut his communications with the Egyptian bases.
		The primary investment of Jaffa was made by the division of General Kleber, who, on the evening of that day, took over the task of shielding the besieging forces from hostile interference and deployed along the shores of the river Yarkon, 10 kms north of the town.
		Jaffa is situated on the shores of the sea (Mediterranean) and built upon a very high hill.

	Chevron 26 - Jaffa
		The Jaffa are a race of humans genetically altered to serve as incubators for the Goa'uld larva and as foot soldiers.
		At the time of implantation (typically around 10 years of age), the Jaffa who are "honored" enough and possess a sufficient community status are granted the ceremony of the prim'tah, when the Goa'uld symbiote is implanted within a young warrior, granting him great strength and long life.
		Because of their genetic manipulation by the Goa'uld, Jaffa are forced to receive a symbiote upon reaching the Age of Prata (puberty), or die from a failing immune system.

		Jaffa's history has, I think, these two themes: 1.The Declaration of Independence's statement that "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal" did, indeed, apply for Jefferson and his contemporaries to all people, including the then African-American slaves.
		Basically, Jaffa teaches that natural rights begin with the doctrine of the "state of nature." In this state, a person has the right to life and liberty, and to property in order to defend his right to life and liberty.
		Jaffa's diptych (Crisis of House Divided, New Birth of Freedom) is the strongest argument yet made for Lincoln as leader.

		The Jaffa became incubators for the larvae form as well as serving as the army for their entire populations -- greatly increasing the symbiote's chances of surviving and successfully taking over a human host.
		The term "Goa'uld" is loosely used in that it is often mistaken as the primary definition of a symbiote; but the Tok'ra, who possess genetically identical creatures within, refuse to be known by the term "Goa'uld," believing it should only be used to define any symbiote demanding power and worship for themselves.

	The Battle of Megiddo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Most of what we know about Tuthmosis III's Battle for Megiddo was compiled by the military scribe, Tjaneni, and inscribed on the walls of the Hall of Annals in the Temple of Amun at Karnak in ancient Thebes (modern Luxor).
		Furthermore, this was Tuthmosis III first major battle in which he was in overall command and the army had not fought a major engagement for some 20 years, so there was perhaps not the confidence among the troops that later triumphant language might imply.
		While the booty from this battle was vast, the pharaoh seems to have been most proud of the capture of 2,041 horses that were taken and used to swell the breeding stock in Egypt.

		He had just begun to explain how many Jewish towns lay in Arab areas, when the middle-aged wife asked naively why Jaffa was marked “Arab.” The guide explained gently, “The British wanted it that way,” and, as the idea of arbitrariness in Englishmen seemed to satisfy her sensibility, went on with his talk.
