Introduction to Jordan's Cultural Relics and Historical Places in Asia
Jordan was rich in cultural relics. Amman, the capital, had many cultural relics from the Greek, Roman, and Arabian periods. For example, the only Greek building left behind by Heracles other than Athens, the Mayer Palace, the church built during the Byzantine period, and the ancient Roman theater embedded in the cliff. The theater was still used as a cultural event venue until 2011. In addition to the capital, the 3,600-year-old Migudol Temple echoed the ancient city of Petra, another great relic of Jordan, and was regarded as one of the world's great cultural heritages. The ancient city of Petra was originally named "Sela"(meaning "rock"). It was rediscovered in 1812 and listed as a World Heritage site in 1985. It was located near Ma 'an, an important town more than 200 kilometers south of Jordan's capital, Amman. It was a "stone city". Palaces, temples, mausoleums, theatres, bathhouses, and other buildings were all excavated from the rocks. It was even larger than the Ajanta Grottoes in India. Because the color of the rocks was rose under the sunlight, it was also known as the "Rose City." To enter the ancient city, one had to pass through a canyon that was about 1.5 kilometers long, about 7 meters wide at the widest point, and only a carriage could pass through at the widest point. The canyon was filled with winding paths and stone walls. In addition, there were about 100,000 historical sites in the country. When tourists came to Jordan, it was like entering an open museum. They could appreciate the ruins of various periods from the Stone Age to Greek, Roman, and Muslim civilizations. The Umar Mosque was built by Umar I, the first caliph of the religion of islam, and was one of the earliest monasteries in the world. There was also the Roman palace, Hermitage, which had been restored into a museum, where exquisite works of art and the lifestyle of the time could be seen. Read more exciting novels for free
