History Hound Travels

Lots of good info here on Petra. Covers people, daily life, commerce, Roman rule…….you get the point. Lots of pics, old and new. Petra: Lost City of Stone | American Museum of Natural History also has interactive panoramas in high and low bandwidth. You could spend a good bit of time here, for sure.

Did you know that Petra will be significant in the end times? Some believe that Christians will gather there.

The site says you can see 5,000 years of history of middle eastern history in 90 seconds, and it is truly and impressive saga. The map is overlaid one by one by the various empires that ruled it. I was shocked to see the size of the Macedonian empire. I had read about it in words, but to see the pictures was just amazing.

I was also surprised by the Roman Empire. For the amount of influence that it has had through the ages, it just wasn’t all that big.
