  • The Mountains of Wadi Rum 111
    109 The Mountains ofWadi Rum TonyHoward Plates 41-47 Wadi Rum, if it means anything to anyone, probably conjures up visions of Lawrence of Arabia for it was from there, in that remote region of desert mountains, that he based his raids on the Turks and Aqaba. Since then little has changed. Old men, some of them old enough to recall riding with Lawrence, still travel the desert by camel and the mountains that wall the valleys described by Lawrence as 'Rum the Magnificent ... vast, echoing and God-like ... a processional way greater than imagination' stand aloof and unknown to all but the Beq.ouin. We were fortunate to be the first climbers to be invited to the area by Jordan's Ministry of Tourism, to assess the region's potential for mountaineer­ ing and trekking. We spent five weeks there during the months of October and November in both 1984 and 1985. In 1984 the party comprised Di Taylor, Mick Shaw, Alan Baker and Tony Howard. They were joined by Wilfried Colonna from France in 1985. Wadi Rum is a singularly impressive region ofabout 800 square kilometres of desert and mountains, with red, yellow and purple sandstone towers and walls rising steeply and windworn into arabesque loops and whorls, with tier upon tier ofoverlapping slabs melting into space. These walls start from the desert at c.900-1000m and are capped with huge domes of white smooth sandstone leading to summits of c.1500-1750m. The two highest face each other across Wadi Rum and are Jebel Rum 1754m, reputedly Jordan's highest mountain, and Jebel urn 'Ishrin according to the map only lm lower.

  • DOCTORAL THESIS Interpretation and Presentation of Nabataeans Innovative Technologies: Case Study Petra/Jordan
    DOCTORAL THESIS Interpretation and Presentation of Nabataeans Innovative Technologies: Case Study Petra/Jordan Submitted to the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Urban Planning Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus, Germany, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Engineer (Dr. Ing), 2006-2011 by Yazan Safwan Al-Tell (Born 07-04-1977 in Amman, Jordan) Supervisors: Prof. Dr. h.c. Jörg J. Kühn Prof.Dr. Stephen G. Schmid Prof. Dr. Ing. Adolf Hoffmann I Abstract The Nabataeans were people of innovation and technology. Many clear evidences were left behind them that prove this fact. Unfortunately for a site like Petra, visited by crowds of visitors and tourists every day, many major elements need to be strengthened in terms of interpretation and presentation techniques in order to reflect the unique and genuine aspects of the place. The major elements that need to be changed include: un-authorized tour guides, insufficient interpretation site information in terms of quality and display. In spite of Jordan‘s numerous archaeological sites (especially Petra) within the international standards, legislations and conventions that discuss intensively interpretation and presentation guidelines for archaeological site in a country like Jordan, it is not easy to implement these standards in Petra at present for several reasons which include: presence of different stakeholders, lack of funding, local community. Moreover, many interpretation and development plans were previously made for Petra, which makes it harder to determine the starting point. Within the work I did, I proposed two ideas for developing interpretation technique in Petra. First was using the theme technique, which creates a story from the site or from innovations done by the inhabitants, and to be presented to visitors in a modern approach.

  • 22 Questions & Answers
    22 Questions & Answers March 2018 In the past months various people have raised questions and objections to Dan Gibson’s theory which states that the original city of Mecca was the city of Petra in Jordan. Each question below is a real question that has been asked. Each question follows with Dan Gibson’s response. Some of these questions and objections were made in Arabic and some in Bengali, and have been translated so that everything is in English. 1. OBJECTION: “Beware of major deceptions. This one says Mecca is not the original Mecca, and Gibson does not believe that Muḥammad existed.” Gibson response: While I have researched the history of Mecca, I have never tried to bring doubts that Muḥammad existed. I believe he did exist. The only changes I am suggesting are geographical ones. I hear many objections to my theory, and most of them are about the existence of Muḥammad. Unfortunately these are objections are aimed at other people’s opinions, and are not about my research. I am not like some scholars who doubt the existence of Muḥammad. I believe he was a real person. I hope this is clear to everyone, as I think about half the questions and objections I receive deal with this topic. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2. OBJECTION: Gibson does not mention many places like Busra and Qiruwan. Kufa is not mentioned. India had the oldest mosque pointing to Mecca. Where are these? GIBSON’S RESPONSE: This question seems to be referring to the list of mosques presented in the film. The film was restricted to 85 minutes, so we had to pick and choose what we would present.

  • The Author at Rest on the Trail of T.E. Lawrence in the Wadi Rum
    The author at rest on the trail of T.E. Lawrence in the Wadi Rum 40 the philadelphia lawyer fall 2009 The author and wife, Noreen Shanfelter, at The Monastery, the highest point in Petra ack in that lost era when the neighborhood movie the- atre showed a travelogue or newsreel before the main movie attraction, I sat, a teenager, fascinated by a short Bfilm about Petra, the ancient, abandoned “Red City” in the Jor- danian desert. Like Alan Ladd in “High Barbary,” I vowed one day to visit this mysterious sprawl of temples and tombs carved elegantly out of the desert sandstone by a forgotten civilization. Those who saw the aforementioned film will remember that the matinee idol follows his boyhood promise only to find himself at the end floating aimlessly in a lifeboat on an empty ocean expanse at the exact coordinate where revered elders had told him he would find the paradise called “High Barbary.” To the modern traveler/dreamer, Petra is very big and very real – as proven by a recent visit. All photos by Richard G. Freeman the philadelphia lawyer fall 2009 41 We were in Jordan to visit our son Joe who served there in the Peace Corps. We met him in the port city of Aqaba on the Red Sea after crossing very easily from Eilat on the Israeli side. In Aqaba, we witnessed the end of the holy month of Ramadan, an event similar to but on a lower key than New Year’s Eve: cars cruised; horns blared; men shouted. What was different? No women, except Western tourists, were anywhere in sight and no alcohol was visible except inside hotels that served Westerners.
