The use of natural light to accentuate some of the ruins is extraordinary. Nice to see a documentary about an ancient site in Jordan other than Petra.
I was there a year ago....AMAZING, WONDERFUL, INCREDIBLE, IMPRESSIVE!!!! MARVELOUS!! NO WORDS....❤🥰🙌🙏
I visited it. Beautiful and really worth it.
Fascinating - nothing short of fascinating. So informative. So well done. I am very impressed and would love to see the site one day. Thank you for presenting this for us.

Hi Carol...you are extremely lucky to have visited such great places. Would you be able to share any details about logistics? Airport to fly into, hotel you stayed in, typical costs in USD, how to go to Petra? Any guidance is helpful. tx
As someone who's long believed humankind should live in inground homes instead of building them on top I've always been very impressed with Petra .... I live in tornado country and that kind of construction just makes all the sense in the world ...
Spectacular documentary
Great documentary…amazing detail information…..fantastic video
Asombroso! Gracias, gracias, gracias por compartir este trabajo de investigación...
Passionnant ! Merci pour ce documentaire.
Truely ... amazing place .. Thanks .
When I look at these documentaries about roman civilizations and their buildings, I am always amazed. The buildings that the romans built are still there for well over 2000 years as they were once built by them. When I look at today's houses in contrast to the Roman buildings, there is a big question mark over my head. Why do the houses that are built today crumble after barely twenty years and Roman buildings are still standing after 2000 years. Are today's masons or architects too stupid to build a solid house? If you look at roman buildings then you should think so. Probably the bad construction has to do with money again nowadays, because you can't earn money on something that is built for eternity.

The roof breaks first, water penetrates, then snow and ice get into the masonry, depending on the location. And then you can demolish the house in the worst case in less than 20 years.

I am not sure exactly why this happens, but I do know that (from what I seem, so I am not 100% sure) the Roman’s ingredients for concrete was/is different from most now. I do know they recently figured out what most the ingredients were for Roman concrete. The really cool thing about Roman concrete (IMO) is that it’s self healing ❤️🩹, when a crack starts the concrete kinda “grows” and makes the concrete while again in that spot.

The buildings as well as most of the columns of main streets were reconstruted in Gerasa/Jerash. The city was completly in ruins. There was also a local saying: to be ruined like Jerash 🙂 Besides the buildings were constructed mainly and most probably by local masons (by the way buildings were often poorly constructed: like a hippodrome for example).
Brilliantly enlightening Thankyou! and I so loved the incidental music. Unobtrusive and fitting
So beautiful❤.Mankind can create beauty themselves with a little help from above.Thanks so much.
Grazie per il magnifico video che ho potuto vedere ed apprezzare - porgo un cordiale saluto dall'Italia, Luciano il perugino 😀🍀🍀🍀
I'm quite familiar with Roman history and have read a few books by Roman historians (Flavio Josephus included), but I've never paid much attention to the references to this city. This documentary is excellent. This city now in ruins must have been very beautiful, busy and important in the 1st century AD. The virtual recreation of the buildings and the city could have been done. This would add great media value to the site.

Actually, Jerash is one of the best preserved of the Decapolis cities, and is known as the Pompeii of the Middle East. A lot of restoration work has been done there, and continues to be. Some of it excellent, such as the restoration of the North theatre (the late Antoni Ostrasz), some of it a little too "hollywood", such as the Hippodrome and South theatre (under the direction of the Antiquities director at Jerash). It really is one of the most amazing places to visit. I was lucky enough to be chosen to participate in excavations at Jerash under the direction of the wonderful Ina Kehrberg-Ostrasz, one of the leading authorities on Jerash and, further to working at the site, we were actually fortunate enough to live on the site as well. And one of the most memorable experiences of my life was being able to wander around the site and walk along the Cardo at night, particularly when the moon was bright, with not another soul in sight. A privilege experienced by very few people.

I have read bagpipes are thought to have originated in Egypt, then taken to Scotland by the Romans, makes good sense, considering the vicinity of Jerash to Egypt, and Romans being all over the neighbouring areas. Many of whom use the bagpipe. Great doco, THANKYOU ❤
Gerasa (Antioch on Chrysorhoas) was in fact urbanized and became a real polis during the Roman domination on the Near East, though not immediately after the creation of the Syrian Decapolis district. This process actually intensified under the Flavians, and especially after the creation of the province of Arabia, and reached its peak during the Antonine dynasty, after which the city was raised to the rank of a Roman colony under the Severans... as far as we know.
Siempre creí que las ruinas de Efeso era el lugar greco-romano más importante del Imperio, pero viendo este documentañ me decanto por Jerash. Impresionante lugar !
Very interesting, thank you. *Let the Sunshine in...* .
Excellent. Merci
where these people found the time to build these monumental structures. Incredible. I sure would like to know about construction of those buildings. It is rartely documented. I think that nobody really knows how it was all done in real daily life,.
Джераш, это древний эллинистичнский город Гераса, построенный во время правления Селевкидов греками, в последующем несколько раз перестраивается в связи с разрушениями вызванными с набегами варваров и другими катаклизмами, во время правления римлян был заново восстановлен, опят таки греческиими мастерами ,остатки которого видны сегодня.
Dans les années 1980, j'ai travaillé pour la famille royale, au temps du roi Hussein et de la reine Noor. Pour le 1er anniversaire de la reine, de ma venue - on m'a demandé de faire la place de Jerash en pâtisserie, avec les colonnes et autres. La reine Noor m'a remerciée en me remettant une bouteille de champagne avec un petit mot.
Espetacular. O tempo não 👎 para.
I appreciate this detailed documentary; having been to the country Jordan is absolutely beautiful. But the yellow filter in this video is just inappropriate.

It was 2017 we traveled around Jordan with one of our friend's family from Saudi Arabia in their car. We visited Jerash then. The guide told us about a non existing river that once supported the habitation perhaps changed its course after a severe earthquake. That looks most logical why this unique city civilization lost its population, to be rediscovered by some European soldiers while camping there during 2nd world war.

The narrator states that the city was founded in the 3rd century AD and reached its prime in the 2nd and 3rd century AD. That doesn't make sense.
Dekapolis and other cities were the result of expansion of hellenism with Alexander the Great Although everybody have relations with greeks and before The difference was now with Alexander we having an overwhelming expansion of hellenism Theater having only greek cities No romans that found these greek cities ready Peace to all jordans

The most complete Roman city in the world..
I would like to share with you the gospel of our salvation in the dispensation of God's grace. “Grace can be defined as the undeserved favor of God for people who deserve His condemnation.” God does not hold sins against us because they have already been paid for (every sin for every person.) Christ was made to be everyone's-every-sin (2 Corinthians 5:21). However, full reconciliation is not achieved until an individual "reconciles himself" to God (2 Corinthians 5:20). This happens upon belief of the gospel of our salvation. All humanity is forgiven but not all believe it. Being forgiven does not equal being saved, salvation comes by faith. Salvation is appropriated by faith, forgiveness of sins is NOT. Your sins were forgiven regardless of your belief. God did not need your faith at Calvary, He only needed His Son. SALVATION is only gained by trusting Christ - via belief in the word of truth (the gospel of our salvation.) Salvation IS by works, just not our own. It is not of ourselves, but through the gift of God's grace that we are saved. Upon HEARING the gospel, if we BELIEVE the gospel, we are sealed with the holy Spirit of promise unto the day of redemption (Ephesians 1:13-14). A lost soul can only be saved by trusting Christ to have done everything necessary for our salvation though His finished cross-work. Romans thru Philemon are the only books in the bible that explain salvation for today. In those books we find salvation is by faith alone, in Christ alone, without-any-works-of-any-kind-at-anytime. Christ died for your sins, and has risen for your justification (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) Put your faith in what He did rather than what you have done, are doing, or are going to do. Salvation is not getting-your-sins-forgiven, it's believing they already are. (2 Corinthians 5:19) Truth Time Radio, also on youtube and facebook, is here to help you better understand your bible and better articulate your faith to others.

The Romans never built anything of this magnitude in Britain. Why? (Likely it was seen as a backwater culture of peoples they merely desired to control, they desired their resources of tin, mica, and forests. They very likely knew the ancient value of the Irish, their earlier Christain Practices, (pre Constatine), their libraries of Knowledge and Colleges of Education that the elite sent their children to for Higher Education. What they labeled as Pagan, including the Druids and Picts were holders of the Ancient Knowledge. Their goals was to overcome them with a propaganda and new religion. They feared actual combat with them, possibly due to an idea of their possessing Magic, from the Tuatha de Danann. "The Tribe of Dan" (Tel Dan) Whatever the facts of the eea, the observable facts remain and are overwhelmingly ignired. 🔹Was it the Romans, or Anglos, that Ethnicslly cleansed all the orig8nal English Males, such that only less than 2% of that male DNA remains ..."?"

Unfortunately, the otherwise interesting video was spoiled by having a French description superimposed by an English one. I could have followed either one, but having them both at the same time, left neither understandable!
