      The ancient world is interesting but their level of social development, technology, understanding of the natural world, values, and quality of life were all pathetic compared to the society we live in today. Don't take for granted what a fantastic time it is to be alive today.

      How do you not know how much times you have been to a significant place? If I went to say the great pyramid of Giza 12 times, I would say 12 times, because every time I have been there always been a wonderful experience. I'm not trying to be mean, I am simply pointing out an observation and asking about it. Oh and, when you say every time you go there it feels more monumental, what do you mean by that? Are you saying it as an array as individual experiences or a built up individual experience (of something [petra]) that gets better each time.

    Its funny how we assume that 1000s of years ago, human being were less smart than today.
    But if we think twice 🤔, can any of us carve perfectly crafted houses in mountains without laser stone cutting technology?
    This is truly a remarkable structure which requires in depth planning and precision in architectural insight.
    1000s of years ago human beings were like:
    "Hmm? Strong foundation, earthquake proof...lets turn that mountain into a house"
    21st century human beings are like:
    "lets climb the mountain and hope we don't fall to our death"

    ❤🇯🇴❤ Indeed, now we understand how important Jordan is. Petra was the original Mecca. The Temple of Dushara just like Shiv mandir had a Navagraha counter where the nine idols of stone were consecrated and worshipped till 713 when the 2nd Islamic civil-war and earthquakes forced Muslims to shift their Kaaba location to present day mecca in Saudi Arabia. Petra was also the place where Abraham left Ishmael and his mother Hagar in the Valley of Nabatean tombs and temples. The mountains are Saffa and Maruwa. These mountains also had water-ways(ZamZam) carved on them, which provided water to in-coming caravans, camels as well as the resident people of Petra. Basically Quran describes Petra as Mecca...with orchards, wine-yards and olive trees. Also the Qibla of AlAqsa mosque and the Dome of the rock itself is oriented towards Petra. Which meant Petra was the most important city from the ancient times. Thanks to researchers like Dan Gibson, watch his videos "the sacred city".

    Interesting that Becca sounds very similar to Beqaa, the Beqaa Valley is geographically part of the Great Rift Valley that runs along the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea and into the Gulf of Aqaba, and on into the Red Sea. It is also interesting that the Quran talks about two bodies of water, one salty, like the Dead Sea and one sweet water, like the Sea of Galilee, that do not mix. These two waters are both below sea level and the gradient between the two is gradual, so that the river meanders because the water is moving slow enough that it will have a very distinct salinity gradient.
