I don´t understand much arabic but I enjoyed very much. Please keep us updated about future lectures we can attend in Jordan, thank you.
hey, very interesting video and presentation. The audio was really tough to hear though. It would be nice to just see the presentation with the audio removed and a fresh voiceover.
Thank you for uploading it, as i couldn't join live! 🎉
Perhaps write the program starts at 16:43

I do no agree that these were "animal traps" because if you study them extensively you will notice that the trap walls of some of the kite intersect and if animals were able to follow a path due to the walls they would never make it to the trap. But that is the only knowledge we have, so I would suggest we approach the function of these structures as being much more than animal traps.
Wonderful discovery in early 1990s that as many as Three originally magnificent 5/6 century Beautiful Byzantine churches Next year 2025 Anniversary 325 AD Nicaea Did Bishop from this area attend ?
Isay , or isau , is a pre existant name indeed , it is in the bible , the name of the first son abharam is Esau and it is written and pronounced in aramaic عيسو Isay is an other prononciation of that same name. And why should we go this far by supposing that those "arabs" changed the name to a prexisting one , knowing that prexisting name pre exited in the aramaic people too , but still the aramaic call him ishua not 'issou The simpliest conclusion should be that either this name was ishou' يشوع and was reversed to عيشو Or the other way around And this us a well known languastic phenomena , to reverse the word Just like eich or eith إيش ، إيث in aramaic that became شي in arabic , both of them means "existing thing" ... The exemple are many
Ain't this the reason they called the sugar coated almond Jordan Almond
Jack is an ass. On one hand he takes credit for my father’s work and on the other hand criticizes my father’s early conclusions some of which were made 40 years ago. My father, Philip C Hammond, is probably rolling over in his grave. Keep it up Jack and we will and every member of AEP sue you. We’ve discussed this.
All the damage to the frescos looks new, as if there was an explosion, or someone took a stone and kept knocking on the walls destroying many of the frescos. This is bad!!!!. I could not see where the Aramaic, now Jews will claim its Jewish
My son and I visited Umm el-Jimal for the first time last year on our way out to Jawa and it was one of the most amazing sites we've ever experienced. When we walked around the corner into the front door of the double church, and saw the mosaic floor, my 23 year old son was moved nearly to tears. The site is so big and dense, we both agreed that on our next trip we will set aside at least two full days for Umm el-Jimal.

shouldnt we find Isa عسي then much more often, ie. in and around the cave of "Hira" ?
Why would that be so
It is in the bible esai , عيشو son of abraham
@kevinmyousfi2809 You meant ᶜēsaw or Ēsau ع-س-و written as عِيْسَوْ but in the ᶜArabic Bibles spelt as عِيْسُوُ ᶜiisuwu with the nominative or ᶜiisuw without any case as in Joshua 24:4, who according to Genesis 25:25-26 is the elder son of Isḥaaq or Isaac, that makes ᶜiisuw grandson of Ibraahiim or Abraham?! Otherwise, where is عيشو in the Bibles?!
Very interesting. You mentioned at 24:00 the controversial surah surah Al hala3? How do I spell that in Arabic? Maybe I misheard but I am looking for it in Arabic

Wonderful, important work. Please note, commenting as a local historian now, not as an archaeologist, Jack equalized the current horrific Syrian displacement and refugees with 1948. The Arab leadership of that time encouraged tens of thousands of resident to leave their homes so they could fight the Jews, and then used the displaced people as a political football to pressure Israel-and blacken its image- successfully to this day, obviously- , not allowing regular absorption into society, not allowing buildings to be built for them to live normally, and this deliberate use of helpless people was recognized already in the 1950s. A tragedy happened yesterday in northern Israel where 100K people traveled to an religious event, infrastructure collapsed wiht fatal results, and Arab towns and individuals all around in the middle of the night invited, tweeted, facebooked, Jews to come stay with them and recover from the trauma. That is Israel, building bonds people to people.

Are the two mummy portraits of Nabateans or are they just used as examples? 1:05:40
They are contemporary but Egyptian. Wikipedia says that Egypt was the southern neighbor on Nabataea. He is drawing similarities in the styles of the region and earlier asserted that appearance was more about the time and place you lived than your religion. Since cultures in close contact influence each other, as he showed earlier, he believes that the Egyptian portraits may give us a very good idea of what their neighboring Nabateans looked like, and even the Arab fresco is quite similar looking to the Egyptian portraits.
Too long introduction + sound quality of the voice would be better with a microphone. Bad picture quality. Nevertheless, thank you very much for the talk.
Good thing the lecture is about substance and actual information rather than a flashy entertainment video like all the dumb ancient aliens video you watch. Shove it.
In the Quran it is mention that Allah redeemed Jesus. i.e. he took him up to heavens. So, I think may be the correct translation for Issa (عيسى) would be "the redeemed" instead of "the redeemer" as prof. Ahmed suggested. The Quran did not arabize the name of Jesus as Yassoo (يسوع) becuse it means in Arabic (to miss or to lose) which is opposite to the Islamic beliefs about Jesus.
Interesting argument but what form would these two words be? It doesn't look like normal Arabic.
@@stevenv6463 It has been nine months since I listen to this fascinating lecture, but as I remember Dr. Ahmad mentioned that this name (Issa عيسى) came from other semitic language (I think abyssinian language) not Arabic. on the other hand, (Yassoo يسوع) is obviously Arabic. It is the Arabic name that Christian Arabs adopt for Jesus. They actually just changed the (Sh ش) sound used in the hebrew name of Jesus (Yahosho يهوشوع יְהוֹשֻׁעַ) to (S س ) sound which resulted in (Yassoo يسوع). They fabricate this name to avoid using the Islamic version of the name of Jesus, which I believe it is wrong Arabization and I explained earlier why it is wrong.
@@amiralandalus389 No I mean that you argue it is redeemed and redeemer but that seems like it should be مفعول وفاعل
@@stevenv6463 ما شاء الله! تتكلم العربية؟! هنيئا لك ! redeemed: مفعول به redeemer: فاعل Actually I thought it should be "redeemed" not "redeemer" because this conforms with the Quranic narrative about Jesus, namely the following verse (chapter 3:55) ( إِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا) translation: (O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify [i.e., free] you from those who disbelieve). However, I am not claiming that I know how Dr. Ahmad reach to this meaning of this word (i.e. عيسى).
@@amiralandalus389 نعم تعلمت العربية في المصر، الحمدلله. Redeemed would have to be معسي and redeemer would be عاسٍ , no?
Indeed a good lecture, well researched, clear and the questions were answered brilliantly
Kinda gay :/
are these scripts taken and protected somehow?
Wonderful !
Great lecture !
A really interesting video. Possibly controversial!
how so?
@@anwa1375 Isa could be a different person later on mixed in with Jesus Christ due to similar attributes.
@@naeem11111 Kamal Salibi said this back in 1985.
@@dbr295 any sources on this?
@@naeem11111 Look for Kamal Salibi "Who Was Jesus". He makes alot of connections which I haven't seen any where else really. I found out that Tabari also mentions that Eesah predates the crucified JC, who he calls Ishu Ben Fandura. According to him he lived around 300 BCE & is buried in a hill in Hijaz somewhere. I think the Quran is pretty assertive that they got the wrong guy which is often interpreted as substitution (Judas the betrayer being crucified in his place). The elephant in the room though is the lineage of Mariam, daughter of Imran & sister of Harun.
