Jordan is part both of the Fertile Crescent and the Holy Land. Its
archaeological remains extend in time from prehistory to the
British Empire. The country is, of course, renowned for the
magnificent ruins at Petra - a World Heritage Site - and the superb
remains of the Roman city of Jerash. But beyond these high profile
places is a rich and varied cultural heritage. Sites are everywhere
in this great outdoor museum: one tally has calculated over 25,000
sites visible above ground alone, making Jordan one of the great
treasure houses of the world. Even at ground level these sites are
striking and memorable, but the best view, as is so often the case,
is seen from the air. The book contains over 200 high quality
colour photographs, taken from the air, illustrating the
breathtaking range of sites. Chapters deal with periods through
history from prehistoric times through the Nabateans, Greeks and
Romans, the early Islamic period, the Crusaders and Saracens, to
the Ottoman and British Empires. The photographs are accompanied by
descriptions of the sites pictured.
