Summary

Description

English: This is a picture of modern Amman (and a giant Jordanian flag) as it appears today from the top of the "citadel," the ancient heart of Amman. While the citadel has been set aside as an archeological site, almost all of central Amman is built on ground that has been inhabited for thousands of years. I wonder how many private home owners go down digging in their basements to see what they can find? I think that, for me, the lure would be irresistible.

This is a photo of a monument in Jordan identified by the ID
