I think that as valuable as the experience itself, is the enthusiasm with which it is enjoyed and, above all, with which it is transmitted. And in this sense, I must congratulate you, because your chronicle convinces. Within the whole cluster of transmitted sensations, your mention of the accidental discovery of a cave with two Roman sarcophagi particularly strikes me. And I imagine that, just as providence wanted that discovery to be made, it is possibly an indication that what we see in the light of the sun is possibly a tiny part of everything that is still hidden. Regarding the remains of the Byzantine basilica, reading in your chronicle, which was from the 6th century, I already imagined it as similar to the Visigothic ones, whose remains do not differ much from those you show us in your magnificent photographs. Obviously, without detracting from the spectacular nature of the Temple of Hercules, I was impressed by the Umayyad Palace, the characteristics of whose frontispiece could well be taken, at first glance, as Byzantine influence, due to the blinded arcosolia or windows and their corresponding capitals. I'm sorry I extended my comment, but what you shared with us seemed like a great adventure. An affectionate greeting.

No worries dear friend @juancar347. I've actually learned significant knowledge from your interestingly long comments. They are like mini blog posts to me where valuable information, insights, and experiences are created and distributed to others. Sometimes the fun lies in its contents, different from the main body of the publication itself.
Thank you very much for your sincere appreciation of my historical exploration of the Amman Citadel. As you are also an architectural explorer, we definitely share the same passion for the investigation of ancient habitats, ruins, and heritage buildings. I'm glad you found this post beneficial to your education, inspiration, and entertainment. Receive my warmest greetings. 😊
