Amman

We saw this one the road to Amman. Ahmad was like "American's!". I just said "Jordanian Rednecks". What is that other flag on the back?


Roman Period- Temple of Hercules (~160 CE)
Located on Jabil al-Qal'a (known as the Citadel), one of original 7 hills of Amman







There are 7000 years of occupation noted on the Citadel.
2250 BCE Early Bronze-age cave tomb:


View from Citadel over old town with big-ass flag


Sarcophagus. Sarcophagus is my 2nd favorite word, next to australopithecine. I'm a nerd, no?
