Lost Civilizations: Jerash, the Wonder of Jordan | Full Documentary

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....❤🥰🙌🙏

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.

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.

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 ...

My other half is Jordanian and so proud of their country, tradition and culture. Watching this video is like taking me back to the ancient time. :pride-flower-rainbow-heart::pride-flower-pansexual:

Magnifique,un connaisseur hors paire du site,les anciens nous ont laissés une œuvre colossale, ça fait rêver !!!!

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.

I visited it. Beautiful and really worth it.

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.

Great documentary…amazing detail information…..fantastic video

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

Asombroso! Gracias, gracias, gracias por compartir este trabajo de investigación...

I had never heard of this place but was fascinated by this documentary, the modern world has lost so much to history.

Spectacular documentary

Passionnant ! Merci pour ce documentaire.

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 ❤

So beautiful❤.Mankind can create beauty themselves with a little help from above.Thanks so much.

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,.

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.
