EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1920s, the ruins of the Great Temple of Gerasa, now known as Jerash in Jordan, stand proudly against the backdrop of the Middle Eastern desert. Located in the Holy Land, this ancient city is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of the region. The Great Temple, dedicated to the goddess Artemis, is a magnificent example of Roman classical architecture. Its grand Corinthian columns and intricately carved stone pillars are a sight to behold, even in their ruined state. The temple's impressive size and imposing presence speak to the power and wealth of the Roman Empire at its height. The temple's history is as intriguing as its appearance. It is believed to have been built in the 2nd century AD and remained in use until the 6th century AD. Over the centuries, it has been damaged by earthquakes and invading armies, but it continues to stand as a reminder of the past. The stones and rocks that make up the temple's structure have weathered the test of time, yet they continue to tell the story of the ancient city and its people. The temple's columns and pillars, once adorned with intricate carvings and ornate decorations, now stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time. The Great Temple at Jerash is just one of the many wonders of the Holy Land, a place where history and culture come alive. This photograph captures the essence of this remarkable place, inviting us to explore its mysteries and marvel at the beauty and grandeur of the ancient world.
