The Cathedral & Roman Amphitheatre, Jordan




Able to touched those old columns in these monuments gives me goose bumps.  This place is really awesome, to think this used to be where some of our Biblical characters roamed around thousands of years ago. 


Today, this place is a favorite location shootings for some of the monumental hollywood movies we have seen, most of it are of colossal hit in the box office, movies like "Mortal Combat" and earlier versions of  "Indiana Jones" to name a few.  So epic that is!


Tidbits:  The amphitheatre is magical,  people from above the bleachers could actually hear someone speaking from the center of the ground down below and not the opposite.  Imagine as if you they were using a megaphone.  Even tourist guide today need not to use a microphone to speak with its tourists.  One nice example from a guide one time, a coin dropped on the ground could be heard loudly by everyone around... amazing!
