I was there a year ago....AMAZING, WONDERFUL, INCREDIBLE, IMPRESSIVE!!!! MARVELOUS!! NO WORDS....❤🥰🙌🙏
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 had never heard of this place but was fascinated by this documentary, the modern world has lost so much to history.
Absolutely awesome Temple or Zeus and Artemis. I’m so proud to be Hellenic. I visited Jerash Jordan in February. Visited Petra Musa ,So blessed.
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
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.
Yeah Rome this place the great pyramids Maybe bailback Lebanon And I think there are some cool places in turkey With Roman Cities ciserns aqueducts and stadiums all in good shape And the Serapeum of sakara
Magnifique,un connaisseur hors paire du site,les anciens nous ont laissés une œuvre colossale, ça fait rêver !!!!
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 ...
I visited it. Beautiful and really worth it.
Great documentary…amazing detail information…..fantastic video
Asombroso! Gracias, gracias, gracias por compartir este trabajo de investigación...
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.
Yes, substandard building material is used to minimize the bottom line. Vile.
I’ve never seen a house that crumbled after 20 years before
@@ssherrierable If the house stands uninhabited for as long as 20 years, then it becomes dilapidated and you can tear it down. 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).
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 ❤
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.
@@vincenzocherubini2424 Congratulations. I love History, but I can't even imagine myself in a place like this.
You should try and visit Jordan. Wonderful country and people. And apart from Jerash, there's also Petra, Madaba and a lot of other sites to visit. Not forgetting the spectacular Wadi Rum. You won't regret it!🙂@@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602
You confirm it follows the Historical Writers information?
@@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602Why not? Explain please.
I was here in July and the piper was playing ‘Scotland the Brave’ …as I’m from Scotland it was a bit of a shock 😁
Passionnant ! Merci pour ce documentaire.
Spectacular documentary
Truely ... amazing place ..
Thanks .
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 !
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.
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.
Grazie per il magnifico video che ho potuto vedere ed apprezzare - porgo un cordiale saluto dall'Italia, Luciano il perugino 😀🍀🍀🍀
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.
i live near to this city I visited alot its magical & amazing 😃
Okay .Can u tell the start of this video its showing curvy roads with dessert view. which place is that ? thanks
@@birenmehta8585That is PETRA, Jordan. One of the seven wonders of the world. Magnificent city.
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.
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.
This is my home country
This was awesome!
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,.
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 goes with the Arab music. If this was American Indians you'd have a screeching Eagle in the background or the gong for China. Standard racists film making.
نتمنى من ادارة القناة عمل زيارة لمدينة ابيلا في شمال الاردن في قرية حرثا ورؤية العجب العجاب من آثار غايه في الروعه والاهمال على حد سواء

Wow so beautiful hallelujah ameem 🙏🏼😭✝️✝️🛐🛐🛐 God ❤❤❤❤
Excellent. Merci
Espetacular. O tempo não 👎 para.
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
Is the original French version somewhere on UA-cam?
Awesome place.😁👍🔥
Mi pongo da sempre un altra domanda: i fregi delle foglie di acanto tutti uguali ..nelle chiese di Roma sono stampati identici così come le lettere alfabetiche dei geroglifici.. sembrano fatti con macchina ti , altro che scalpellino
👍Спасибо
Docmentary start with car driving on curvy roads, Can anyone tell which place is this. I m in middle of making my itineraries and now I stop . Wanted to include this car drive ..... Thanks
No doubt a great lost civilization
.....and why the Greeks and Romans were interested to settle in Jerash or Jordan and built such incredible ancient towns with fascinating temple?
Hold up now, no pesky questions to destroy their narrative.
Same as all empires... Expansion and spreading culture... Alexander made it all the way to afghan and india
The same reasons you can find their structures and towns as far away as the UK
These cities are results of expansion of hellenism with the Great Alexander's conquest of Persian empire
Although everybody have relation with greeks and before
@@clanmccroneartist6049 it was to contain Saddam and maintain the Petro dollar and using gold or other currency... Same thing NATO(led by the euros) did in Libya... Only that time they had to actually kill the man (Libya was literally THE most wealthy country and a strong leader in Africa... Look into how that country was divided and destroyed... I
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.
very nice doc, visually stunning, but what is the actual purpose of talking over the top of this dude mumbling in french in the background that makes it almost impossible to watch without turning down the volume.
why the mainstage theater watching doors? just lot of tiny doors with no room blocked no platform what are they for?

الأردن اسم نهر وهذا البلد اخذ اسمة
Keine Übersetzung auf deutsch. Warum dann deutscher Titel des Videos ? Sehr schade, gute Aufnahmen 👍
How was it founded in the third century ad and reached is peak under the romans in the second and third century ad?
Gerasa was probably founded in times of Antiochus III or Antiochus IV (which is more probable according to C. H. Kraeling), not in the III rd century BC and reached its peak in the II century AD.
Founded by greeks from Alexander the Great and the expansion of the greeks
His general Antiochus
Hellenistic period
The Roman's just become rulers centuries after
They have not created nothing
This is a greek city
Very very nice good history and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ God is Jesus 🙏🏻☦️🛐✝️😭🙏🏼🛐😭✝️🛐🙏🏼🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
15:55 Pompey conquered Jordan in 63 BC.
Who knew Jordan also had this?
The city reached it's prime before it was founded?
Best channel ever....Respect your effort..
Did you also visit in the ancient Synagogue there or the Jordanians preferred not to show it to you?
pantou sinantas ellada greece is everywhere
that why it name plated disc ticket
I personally wouldn't really care to hear bagpipes in Jerash. I'll go to Edinburgh for that.
Karena ada subtitle indonesia jadi saya bisa menonton dengan tenang. Trimakasih😊
Hardly lost, if its always been populated
Alhamdulillah hirabbil alaamin ihdinasshiratul mustakim

8:50 Why are they make noise?? There is a place for enjoy the silence, not listen any music live

Why did they skip the Rashidun era mosque, perhaps one of the oldest ever built. It was destroyed in the 747 AD earthquake. Its Qibla wall faces Petra, not modern Mecca.

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.

conozco jergas, me encanto, es espectacular
Documentaire très intéressant. Je ne connaissais pas ce site.
same as the patheonon open door step theater
My home country Jordan. 😍🇯🇴 We also have huge reserves of gas and petrol , but because of Israel , we can't extract them. We could be as rich as the Gulf Arab countries ,not only richer in history , also by natural resources.
How does Israel prevent that?
@@Kaz.Klay. Jordan has a lot of Palestinian refugees , if Jordan becomes an oil rich neighbour to Israel , it will threaten Israel's dominance in the region , I don't think Israel wants that to happen.
With there Jew lasers right? Grow up Muslim child
this just a quarter open step theater designed with minimal leeway or stage floor room it mean 2 be uncomfotable sanitary pissing where?acustic to what ?
Почему описание на русском, а фильм вообще не на русском😂 это не честно😢
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!
Every single of those columns and capitals look textbook Roman. If there was Helenistic architecture there before the Romans, say a Doric or Ionic temple, they were completely and totally replaced with Roman style architecture. 29:50 Even these "ionic" capitals in what would have been the temple of Zeus are in the Classic Roman incarnation of the style. The space between the volutes is flat and horizontal whereas in the Classic Helenistic style it would curve downward between the volutes. Not to mention the un-fluted columns. Totally Roman.
I think it is more complicated. Both main temples of Gerasa (or Antioch on the Chrysorhoas) and the whole city architecture and planning should be considered in the category of cultural syncretism (Greek-Roman as well as local Syrian/Near East traditions accoridnig to many researches).
@@Wojact_Taki Yeah but the Romans were known to knock down everything and rebuild it their way. Much more modern and grander. The few Greek temples that remain were in what became malaria infested swamps or areas that were abandoned or inaccessible for some good reason. There are very few extant Greek temples in the world. And there's always a good reason and explanation for how they survived. We're talking about hundreds of years difference sometimes and a completely new way of building using concrete and arches. Greek pillars were segmented and fluted whereas Romans preferred monolithic pillars on their temples. Otherwise it was mostly brick and concrete with Marble revetments. They look very similar but once you know the differences, it's pretty obvious.
@@Wojact_Taki There are NO Roman settlements or cities where they left behind an ancient Greek Doric or Ionic temple. None. It's either "Greek/Helenistic" or it's Roman. And they're not the same. The Romans never built a Doric temple and their Ionic was much more ornate. Their architecture was much more "baroque" so to speak. And the Corinthian Order is a Roman invention. The Capital is originally Helenistic but their version was less robust and more delicate and usually only used as a votive column within a temple. There were never any Corinthian style Greek temples. And the four cornered Ionic/Corinthian composite "schamozzi" style capital is also theirs. If you didn't know any better you'd think it was all the same. Once you know... it becomes apparent. Too many are under the misunderstanding that the Three Orders are Greek and that the Romans are just copying. They're not... It would be like calling Reinisssance revival architecture just "Greek" or "Roman" as opposed to Greco Roman revival. It's a continuation on an aesthetic and a descendant of but definitely not the same. If asked what kind of classic architecture they had in Syria your answer wouldn't be inappropriate or wrong but when walking through the ruins of a Roman city... There's no Greek left. None. It was used as building material.
Plus remember that Alexander the Great was 364 years(300 B.C.E.) before the Romans arrive (64 A.D.) and start building. Those Greek buildings were Old and Crusty by then!
If you look it up EVERYWHERE will always say Greco-Roman but I argue that it's because they don't know the difference. Like Petra is "Greco-Roman" inspired... and the "Greco-Roman" architecture of Jordan, etc. Always. But if it's an actual Greek temple, you better believe it'll say "Classic Greek/Helenistic" Doric/Ionic temple...
Four minutes in, the first ad, no thanks
44:00
that huge 6th century hydraulic machine, not something you learned from a youtube tutorial 🤣
power considerations, torque, volumes etc...
you really need know stuff to build that😱
Наверно , предки наши оттуда...
At 51:30 you mistakenly say the Greeks founded it in 300 AD!!!! The Greeks were nothing in 300 AD. The Greeks ruled the area in 300 BC not AD! It was founded by the Greeks in 331 BC according to most sources. The facts like these are very important in a documanetary like this. You need to either fix it or add a note to the description
@@clanmccroneartist6049 Being Greek was banned by Theodosius and Justinian, they had to be named Roman and become Christians or die. Byzantium was an ancient Hellenic city which Constantine made the capital.
it was Aramaic city before the Greeks
Gerasa was probably founded in times of Antiochus III or Antiochus IV (which is more probable according to C. H. Kraeling), not in the III rd century BC and reached its peak in the II century AD.
@@clanmccroneartist6049 So far, there are no evidence of a Hellenistic settlement in the 3rd century BC. The existence of a Hellenistic settlement is confirmed for the 2nd century BC. Of course, the Hellenistic settlement arose on the site of an earlier settlement, but there was a gap noticed in settlement from about the mid/late 7th century BC to 2nd century BC, if I remember correctly.
