This calculation assumes that Jordan is the only source of salt, this is not the case. The Dead Sea is sitting on a bed of salt deposited with a thickness of at least 2 km. It is therefore very likely that invaded the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea Jordan, the Dead Sea valley and the level several times.
At that time the valley was a bay near the Red Sea.
The invasion ended when increasing the land between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, at about two million years ago. The country had a side effect that the Dead Sea has been increased to create in the rain shadow on the hills of Judea. The water of the Jordan, could not be compensated for the loss by evaporation and the bay began to dry.
