Travelling back in Biblican time was really great. The Middle East is so enriched with big wonders. Some of them I and my wife Marna experienced were The Western Wall, Tel Aviv, Jerash, massive Roman ruins, Jerusalem, and Shel Zahav. We were closed to the bomb explosion in Amman. Further more we explored the ancient city Petra, the Nabateans`culture and wonders. Spielberg liked the city enough to film the third Indiana Jones movie here, especially the Treasury. We also took our time to admire the sacred Biblical shrine of Mount Nebo, the Dead Sea and more.

Scientists call the remains of the 135-million-year-old sea monster for Godzilla. It was found in southern Argentina in an area that was once part of the Pacific Ocean. The scientific name on the creature is Dakosaurus andiniensis, and it`s an entirely new species of ancient crocodile.

In the past Petra`s wealth grew as the Nabateans kept control of caravan trade routes through the region.
