ArabiaWeather.com - The Jordanian lands, from north to south, are distinguished for being one of the oldest continuously inhabited regions on earth, as the Jordanian land contains evidence of societies and civilizations that passed and settled in the region over a period of more than 13,000 years.

And with the change of times and the succession of conflicting civilizations in the region, the population of Jordan fluctuated greatly between villages and important historical cities to other times when the population was few and rare, especially those years that followed major disasters such as the earthquake that emptied the cities of this country of It was inhabited a lot in the eighth century AD.

The camera will take us to a rare clip of Jordan's life, where very few pictures can be found that take us to the beginning of the twentieth century, when life was simple and small towns and villages depended heavily on agriculture.
