Originally founded by veterans from Alexander the Great’s army, the city of Jerash in the Kingdom of Jordan, is more commonly associated with the Roman Empire and is described as the "Pompeii of the East".
Anyone who has visited Jerash will testify how incredible it is, to actually walk down the city's streets and marvel at the architecture and archaeological discoveries which have been made over the years.

”…we sure live in a country that practices what my wife, who is a psychotherapist, massive denial. … You start the denial, you can’t believe it, you don’t want to believe it, you decide not to believe it and then you make a lot of mistakes that drive the point home because they accelerate the decline.”

Naja, wird wohl wieder nur eine weitere hohle Phrase unseres Bundeskanzlers sein. Oder? Seit wann hat unsere Regierung irgendwelche moralischen Werte, die sie konsequent vertritt? Sieht eher wieder nach planlosem Handeln aus, auch was Merz gerade über Amerika sagte. Hier ein bisschen Kritik, da ein bisschen rumgemault, aber keine eigenen Lösungen für die heutigen Probleme. Und schon gar kein aktives Handeln irgendwo.

”I think what we are living through, you, me, our generation now, is the very unhappy, unpleasant, scary experience of a declining empire, which the Americans have never had. Our empire, over the last century, was nicely upward. Not for everybody, of course, but for enough of them to give it the quality of an upswing.”

It's incredible to think, that we understand Petra as being a world heritage site and a tourist attraction but once upon a time Petra was a vibrant centre of commerce, innovation and life.
Petra is located in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and was featured in 'Civilizations', a 2018 BBC documentary by historian Simon Schama. I wonder how many empires Petra has now outlived?
