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
I was born in Jerash back in the sixties a lot of tourist used to visit the city, it is beautiful and had great waterfalls and a canal which ran from north to south watering the fields
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'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.
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
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.
@@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 ❤
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.
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 !
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,.
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.
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.
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
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.

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...
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

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.
All this is questionable, the Roman building of things were generally repurposed structures they've conquered. To think the Romans rampaged across Europe while building preflood megalithic buildings is not true. All one has to do is look at Rome and see the shoddy brick arches and other things they did build. There's no way in hell they moved 1000 ton stones.
You are spouting nonsense - all over western Europe and the Middle East the Romans built magnificent structures where there had been nothing before -from Britain to Iraq -this was because of their inventions and innovations especially of arch and dome technology. They invented concrete which was the key to many of their most magnificent structures like the incredible Pantheon in Rome which after nearly two thousand years is still the largest pre industrial masonry dome and influenced all later dome construction including churches and mosques. And go to Rome and look at the Colosseum building, the massive vaults of the Bath house complexes. Go to Verona, Nimes, Orange, Arles and el Djem in north Africa to see other incredible arenas! Look at the massive aqueduct bridges at Nimes and Segovia to see how they could build bridges and aqueducts. Go to Caesarea in Israel to see how Romans could build in concrete even under water. Go to the ruins of Pompeii itself in Italy or go to Istanbul for the massive walls, the huge underground water cisterns and the hippodrome.If you had watched this video you could have seen that they even had the technology to use water power to cut great blocks of stone - proof of this type of machine is also seen with a drawing of it on a tomb in Hierapolis in Turkey dating from the Roman era. "Shoddy brick arches indeed! Haven't you ever heard of the arch of Titus or of Hadrian or Constantine? What you are thinking of are the inner remains of buildings that were long demolished by earthquakes and the like but which originally were clad in marble and other precious materials. Just wake up and stop making a fool of yourself!
Check out wally wallington there, guy. I heard all this junk 30 yrs ago. Unlike 99% of the population, I go to the library and look things up. How come you're so ready to jump to magic and don't know who Quintas Hatarius (Roman crane operator company) was or who Wally Wallington is? Wally can move your stone with a pebble and a 2x4 clamp.
Hey bud, the documentary iterated that it’s Hellenistic, so Greek.. and was further continued by the Byzantine empire. The Byzantine people were the Greek “ Romans”. So you won’t find so many Italian Roman “Shoddy” brick work. If you think Byzantine brick work is poor, remember the walls of Constantinople stood for around 1000 years. Also Rome was destroyed a few times so who knows about some structure quality prior to.
@@dugancameron8056 According to expert architectural historians the Romans totally revolutionized architecture by their use of the arch and the dome and the concomitant use of concrete. Prior to this everything was post and lintel stuff repeated over and over again or mass built upon mass -even the vast pyramids of Egypt and the massive Egyptian temples, the Babylonian ziggurats, Chinese buildings, Greek buildings whatever were merely post and lintel, corbelling or brick upon brick, stone upon stone type of construction. Roman architecture was qualitatively different for the reasons I have just given -highly sophisticated arch technology as in their massive aqueducts and concrete dome construction as in the Pantheon and later Christian era churches.
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😱
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.
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.
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!
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 ?

遺跡を壊したりしてたのが
とても許せなかったのを
覚えている。
決して再度作れない物を
壊すのは本当にやめてほしい。
遺跡ほど価値のある物はないと
思っている。

My name is Thangamuthu. I visited this place in 1987.
Is the original French version somewhere on UA-cam?
The music is so loud
Did you also visit in the ancient Synagogue there or the Jordanians preferred not to show it to you?

The city reached it's prime before it was founded?
Documentaire très intéressant. Je ne connaissais pas ce site.
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 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.

Keine Übersetzung auf deutsch. Warum dann deutscher Titel des Videos ? Sehr schade, gute Aufnahmen 👍
Título en español y documental en inglés....??? Además de subtitulado en inglés??? Estafadores.
No doubt a great lost civilization

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.
All this is questionable, the Roman building of things were generally repurposed structures they've conquered. To think the Romans rampaged across Europe while building preflood megalithic buildings is not true. All one has to do is look at Rome and see the shoddy brick arches and other things they did build. There's no way in hell they moved 1000 ton stones.
You are spouting nonsense - all over western Europe and the Middle East the Romans built magnificent structures where there had been nothing before -from Britain to Iraq -this was because of their inventions and innovations especially of arch and dome technology. They invented concrete which was the key to many of their most magnificent structures like the incredible Pantheon in Rome which after nearly two thousand years is still the largest pre industrial masonry dome and influenced all later dome construction including churches and mosques. And go to Rome and look at the Colosseum building, the massive vaults of the Bath house complexes. Go to Verona, Nimes, Orange, Arles and el Djem in north Africa to see other incredible arenas! Look at the massive aqueduct bridges at Nimes and Segovia to see how they could build bridges and aqueducts. Go to Caesarea in Israel to see how Romans could build in concrete even under water. Go to the ruins of Pompeii itself in Italy or go to Istanbul for the massive walls, the huge underground water cisterns and the hippodrome.If you had watched this video you could have seen that they even had the technology to use water power to cut great blocks of stone - proof of this type of machine is also seen with a drawing of it on a tomb in Hierapolis in Turkey dating from the Roman era. "Shoddy brick arches indeed! Haven't you ever heard of the arch of Titus or of Hadrian or Constantine? What you are thinking of are the inner remains of buildings that were long demolished by earthquakes and the like but which originally were clad in marble and other precious materials. Just wake up and stop making a fool of yourself!
Where have you ever seen a thousand ton stone?
Check out wally wallington there, guy. I heard all this junk 30 yrs ago. Unlike 99% of the population, I go to the library and look things up. How come you're so ready to jump to magic and don't know who Quintas Hatarius (Roman crane operator company) was or who Wally Wallington is? Wally can move your stone with a pebble and a 2x4 clamp.
Hey bud, the documentary iterated that it’s Hellenistic, so Greek.. and was further continued by the Byzantine empire. The Byzantine people were the Greek “ Romans”. So you won’t find so many Italian Roman “Shoddy” brick work. If you think Byzantine brick work is poor, remember the walls of Constantinople stood for around 1000 years.
Also Rome was destroyed a few times so who knows about some structure quality prior to.
@@dugancameron8056 According to expert architectural historians the Romans totally revolutionized architecture by their use of the arch and the dome and the concomitant use of concrete. Prior to this everything was post and lintel stuff repeated over and over again or mass built upon mass -even the vast pyramids of Egypt and the massive Egyptian temples, the Babylonian ziggurats, Chinese buildings, Greek buildings whatever were merely post and lintel, corbelling or brick upon brick, stone upon stone type of construction. Roman architecture was qualitatively different for the reasons I have just given -highly sophisticated arch technology as in their massive aqueducts and concrete dome construction as in the Pantheon and later Christian era churches.
9x12x5 how you get 4000
Madre mia siglo lll a d c como es posibles la conservscion😮
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😱
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.
The most complete Roman city in the world..
that why it name plated disc ticket
Petra , ankor wat,stone hedge easter island are preflood civilizations.
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 ..."?"
stage prop?
Hardly lost, if its always been populated
I personally wouldn't really care to hear bagpipes in Jerash. I'll go to Edinburgh for that.
Почему описание на русском, а фильм вообще не на русском😂 это не честно😢
Alhamdulillah hirabbil alaamin ihdinasshiratul mustakim
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!
They must've used underground power and wifi, I don't see a single telephone pole.
