Behind these 2000 year old ruins (the columns, not Jim!) lies a crowded hillside of houses in Amman, Jordan ( Greek Myths, She & He: Adventures in Mythology, Heroes in Mythology, The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
Sitting among the ancient Roman ruins and looking out over modern Amman, Jim and Randy talked of the Greek and Roman myths, and how history is not just "way back then." We are part of the ongoing flow. ( Greek Myths, She & He: Adventures in Mythology, Heroes in Mythology, The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
The Roman Temple of Hercules, a 2000-year-old Roman temple in Amman. Those Greeks and Romans covered a lot of ground from Britain to the Middle East and north Africa! ( Greek Myths, She & He: Adventures in Mythology, Heroes in Mythology, The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
That's Jim by the temple ruins to give you an idea of how big those Roman columns really were. (Amman) ( Greek Myths, She & He: Adventures in Mythology, Heroes in Mythology, The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
Ancient Roman theatre in Amman. Such theatres seated thousands of people. The Greeks and Romans put on plays dramatizing the Greek and Roman myths. ( Greek Myths, She & He: Adventures in Mythology, Heroes in Mythology, The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
To enter Petra, one walks through a narrow passage way with beautiful rocks adorning either side. ( The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
Here is a rock formation in the passage way to Petra that has an amazing resemblance to an elephant! ( The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
Behold the first glimpse (from the narrow passage way into Petra) of the "Treasury". ( The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
Imagine a city carved entirely out of rock, with marble streets! This is Petra. Here you see the "Treasury" structure. ( The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
Here is Jim in Petra. Note how tiny he and the other people look compared to the enormity of the "Treasury" building. ( The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients )
