East Wall, Ajlun Castle

Ajlun Castle(Qalat al Rabad)

, Jordan
 

Ajlun, an Islamic castle, was built in 1183-1184, during the rule of Saladin. The castle was briefly taken by the Mongols in 1260, then reoccupied (1262) by the Mamlukes under Sultan Baybars.

Ajlun is located about 50km north of Amman, near Jarash. Its foundations measure about 100m on a side. The entrance was originally approached by a drawbridge, now a footbridge (D). Other defenses included machicolations (A), sloped glacis above a fosse (B), and arrow slits (C).

This portrait head of T. E. Lawrence, better known as "Lawrence of Arabia," was produced by a local artist, one of a colony who seem to have set up shop around "Lawrence's Well" in the wadi. Lawrence is honored 
for his assistance, as a British liaison officer, in promoting the Arab Revolt from Turkey in World War I.

Thamudic Petroglyphs

Thamudic Petroglyphs

Wadi Rum, Jordan
 

There are thousands of Thamudic drawings and inscriptions in the Wadi Rum area. They are scratched onto the rock surface, not painted (that is, they are petroglyphs, not pictograms). The Thamud, a nomadic Arab tribe, migrated to Wadi Rum in the early Christian era, where they became associates of their far more cosmopolitan Nabataean neighbors. 

This scene includes most of the typical elements of Thamudic rock art: a hunter with bow and arrow (right), ibex, a camel, and a rider on horseback (bottom).
