So, the driver (in Russian “chauffeur”) is taking us by car from Aqaba to the “DANA National Reserve” - well, the reserve.
So we found a good map on which all the points of our further travel are marked - this is DANA - the Dead Sea - the city of JERASH and the capital of AMMAN. The red arrow on the map is someone else's arrow, not ours, well, someone marked their way from Amman to Petra. We are going: Dana - Dead Sea - Jerash - Amman:
After the city of MAAN we got off the Royal Highway and again began to climb the mountains in the direction of Petra. Only DANA it is 30 kilometers north of Petra, that is, it is also on the verge of a huge dried depression WADI ARABA. Well, that is, in the aerial photograph, half a centimeter closer here from Petra:

And for historical parallels, this is the borders of the Jewish Kingdom at the end of the reign of King Dodik the First, presumably about 3000 years ago. By the way, everything to the right of the blue strip of the Dead Sea and the Jordan River is today's YOR-DANIA, that is, the land of the Jewish tribe of DANA!
And here is a map of the ancient kingdoms of Israel:
Pay attention to the ancient Kingdom of AMMON, which is why today's capital of Jordan is called AMMAN. But let's move on from history to practical geography and move on. We went up a bit and jumped out onto the plateau, and there is this active large village DANA. In the village we did the right thing, that we stocked up with Saudi Arabian apple juice, bought cakes, fruit for future use, and we were not mistaken! In the motel, apart from a light cream cheese breakfast and dinner, there was nothing to eat. And to get to the motel, it was necessary in the other direction from the village - in the direction of the gorge leading to Wadi Arab, it was necessary to go down carefully from the village along an asphalt road 200 meters down into a large gorge. To show where we ended up, we will give a photo from this motel. This is the DANA National Reserve Motel. The name is loudbut in fact, anything more zamuhryzhnoe vryatli what you can imagine. This is a motel. But on this hill - on the plateau there - the village of Dana.
But behind the photographer, behind the back, there is a huge abyss that goes to the Wadi Arab basin:
The story is like this. It is at this very place where the motel is, on the slope of the gorge, before the beginning of the tourist era; and this is literally the 2000s; it was here that the mountain village DANA was. But it came to ruin and crumbled, literally on the stones of which it was built. Therefore, the inhabitants all climbed up to the plateau to a new village, and this village fell into decay, crumbled. This is a view of the gorge from the ruins of the village right there from the motel, literally from our hut:
Village ruins and a view of the gorge at dusk:
But then the enterprising Arabs began to think how to “fit into the market” and decided to build a motel on the ruins of the village, using the same stones, according to the same principle that you can build yourself by hand. Arab - said - Arab did! And they began to manually build one-room cubes, put in bathrooms and air conditioners, and this motel is gradually expanding. Look, they finished the outer wall and the inner ones are still old kishlak houses. But they will gradually do this, as they have already done a couple of dozen rooms. Pay attention, they don't even have beams on the floors, they put trees!
How to attract tourists here? A huge number of tourists rush to neighboring Petra right there. And the Arabs of this village of Dana set themselves the goal of shunting at least some of the tourists here, selling, they say, tourist routes and in the American way they call everything “HIKING”. And you know, they manage to get some of the tourists! Here there are 40 tourists even on a weekday! Although this “hiking” is from our point of view - to lose heart. Well, if this motel is located on a slope - 200 meters up - 300 meters down the gorge, then all the routes are just ascents and descents! TIN! This is someone who is not older than 30! But the Arabs - well done - are functioning!
Of course, the tour guide costs money, but not expensive, like 25 dinars, well, in general, in time. They have several routes, harder, easier. Well, in the morning after breakfast, the manager announced that wherever you want - go there and roll, and if you need a guide, then contact him. We immediately realized that the “haik” was not for us, and went up to the manager to ask if there was any Arab with a jeep? It turned out that such was on duty here all day. Well, we immediately went to him and went to the basement, and for 25 dinars to begin with, and 25 from above, the old Arab drove us around until lunchtime. This Arab was born at the bottom of this gorge, and recently got out to the village of Dana on the plateau - and all his life! He was nowhere except this gorge! But he has an old Toyota chaise, on which he takes tourists down the gorges and lifts them up by doing so and earning a living. Moreover, he has 4 sons and one of them lives in Russia having married a Russian, that is, he has a Russian grandson! Here in the photo, an Arab with his chaise is on duty at the gorge, you never know who will tuck his leg into the gorge and will not be able to walk, the Arab will take it out, not for free of course:
So, after a light breakfast, the Arab took us down the gorge, where a local serpentine was scratched down. And there we drank some water from the spring, which is filtered through the floats from the plateau, well, at least 300 meters through the molten rock! The life-giving effect of water manifested itself three hours later - we felt it as the action of the Fountain of Youth! Actually, it is understandable, the minerals of the entire Mendel table are probably melted here. Now we will select the pictures taken at the bottom of the gorge. You can't go along the gorge along the gorge, we just went down into it, and then back up. On the way up we met a large group of cross-eyed tourists descending on foot, all of them elderly. We expressed our doubts to the Arab that they would then themselves rise up. “Well, let's raise it!”, - said the Arab, - “Sometimes the legs are tucked and so on,” “this is our bread,” said the Arab,who spoke a little English, learned during the years of the Pindo-English occupation. Here is a photo from somewhere in the middle of the descent into the gorge. You see red granite melts, and the gray top of the hole in the gorge looks like a giant funnel:
But already at the very bottom of the gorge, a geometrically correct laying of granite megaliths is visible. Of course, it is distorted in places, but the geometrically correct masonry is obvious, that is, the top of the gorge is all melted and ground, and the bottom of the gorge retains the elements of building order!
Here is another snapshot next to it, you can see that the granite masonry of the megaliths led here stronger, but nevertheless, you can notice the elements of the masonry:
And here we took a close-up photo of the junction of 4 monoliths, a crosshair. A colossal deforming force can be seen here! Remember in Petra we showed that the monoliths were made with black cushioning pads from another stone, possibly basalt? Here you can see these black cushion pads in red granite again, only they are badly warped!
This is 150% proof that GRANITE is an artificial stone! And we noted this fact even in Turkish Bergama (Pergamon) where there were many types of different granite of different quality. Granite is like marble or basalt - not a natural stone! - This is a cement of the highest category, which is produced by the Higher Space Civilizations! Where we meet Granite, Marble, Basalt - there are melts of the VCC of the past epochs, and proof that they were much more developed than us!
But look, the whole wall of the gorge is made of red granite in which elements of the correct striation are visible. Here, for example, a huge wall is even somewhat overwhelmed in that direction - back:
In the thermonuclear fusion there are such strong forces of OVER + pressure and OVER-temperature that the seams between the monoliths can merge, deform, and shrink; individual monoliths can melt or even evaporate altogether! But the further from the epicenter or behind the shelters, the elements of the correct masonry remain! It is a fact! Well, in general, we scrambled out of this gorge and drove to the top:
It turned out to be a very interesting education!
So the Arab threw us up the slope.
There was a melt zone below. And this is the upper area of the funnel - the explosion itself! Just look, on the section of the slope, the stone STRATES are clearly visible, that is, the layers of STRATIFICATION, you know, like hanging stands in a huge stadium; we see 3 stone layers here:
These layers are artificially assembled from monoblocks! These layers, of course, have undergone terrible compression and even crumble, but these are prefabricated masonry!
And the gaps between the stone layers are gently filled with DEBRIS. DEBRIS is a ground material, dust. That is, what became dust from the explosion is the same "Nuclear Mushroom", which then settled. Over time, the winds smoothed everything here, and it turned out to be such a gentle, covered slope, and in ancient times there was some kind of giant structure. Right now we'll see something on the slope! Look, this is a giant marble platform made of layers, which is tilted at an angle by a nuclear explosion!
Here's a shot of the skewed marble platform from a different angle:
Now we will close the longitudinal seam between the two layers of the platform. This seam is perfectly even and absolutely clearly artificial! It was not nature that did it - but intelligent creatures and fantastic technology, to which we are no match!
Here we will give closer. It's called an artificial slab!
Let's give this place wider:
And this is a photo from the same place from a skewed platform - in the other direction, towards the gorge. Here you can see the gorge, the kishlak houses on the left on the slope, and here a piece of marble from the platform that fell of the correct shape lies:
