      When I was an undergrad in the 1980s, my archaeology professor had a research project there in 1989 and I got to go. We had high quality Hasselblad cameras and took something around 25 thousand photographs of a couple of the mausoleums that were then slowly stitched together in the Photoshop version of the day. Now, a single person with a laser scanner could do the job we did for three months in about two days, working slowly.

      I arrived at Aqaba Jordan from Neweiba Egypt via ferry Oct September 30, 2021. Everyone had to take a COVID test in the ferry despite we all took a COVID test in Neweiba Egypt before departure. I accidentally took a ferry with 98% economic migrants 😅 but I got help from a young Egyptian with my luggage. There were about only 8 female passengers, I was the only American 😅.
      Once landed in Aqaba, the ferry crew treated me like a VIP 😅 maybe because of the long COVID lockdown, and to see actual tourist? Their English is very British 😊 after some research, only to learn that Jordanian king was educated in UK and the queen is Palestinians.
      The previous queen Noor is half American

    I spent a New Year's eve in Wadi Rum. An incredible place. I love Bedouins and their fashion. It's incredible for the Nabateans to do all this in this location but there are ancient rock cut cities and temples in many countries. I love ancient ruins but civilizations repeat the same style design in many places. Like after you've seen a few ancient Egyptian or Greco-Roman or Angkor Wat -style ruins they all start to look the same because civilizations just repeat everything everywhere during their existence. I find the ancient Egyptian heretic pharaoh Akhenaten interesting because he was the only one to suddenly change the religion and style of art and decoration and beliefs that had been in existence for a few thousand years in Egypt. Jordan is an incredible country. I loved also Machaerus a bit outside Madaba in Jordan which was a desert mountain surrounded by multitudes of other desert mountains not far from the Dead Sea and was where John the Baptist was supposedly held prisoner for two years in a dungeon at the base of the mountain. When you climb to the top of the mountain you can look down to the dungeon inside the hollowed-out mountain. Apparently Salome did the famous Biblical dance with the head of John the Baptist on top of this mountain where his dungeon was. There is just a bit of rubble on top of the mountain and a few columns but it's so haunting and untouristy and you can really imagine it. So much amazing history in Jordan.

    I spent 6hrs walking arnd, there's a wifi cafe down the track, a mini Ampitheatre like the Roman colosseum, and lotsa caves u can walk into and see colorful pictures on the walls. Dont be tempted to take the horse up or down, they look very unstable when stopping on the rocks, especially with lotsa people walking up and down, NJOY the walk. There's a staircase if ur fit enuf to the left of the front of the main Petra building. As with lotsa Egyptian tombs, these rooms are all bare, the entrances are the main attraction. I'd recommend 2 days if you stay locally, time enuf to really take ur time and walk arnd into all caves and the distant surrounding caves on all the different Petra hills. On the way down the initial hill on a tourist trip you're told it was carved from water/flooding, and there are lotsa little caves on the way down...really worthwhile, and not too many over selling vendors like other places........there is a cafe rest stop as previously mentioned with wifi....go bak there for lunch, rest and reset, go exploring again.

    @blackwolf085 Před 3 měsíci +3

    Some other documentaries went into the diverse culture at Petra, how it was a melting pot of different people from around the mediterranian. It also went into the carved buildings into the walls, that some if not all were tombs and they used architecture from the cultures of those who had died. So if it was a roman or greek that died, the architecture of the tomb would reflect that. Some of the tombs were also made for travelers that died in Petra. I'm surprised this documentary didn't cover that. It changes the perspective a bit. It's possible that the painted ceiling wasn't actually proof that Petra was lush with plants and animals, but that traders from greece or rome, which the painting was styled from, actually moved to and lived in Petra and they added the art.
