Description
I've designed 3 elements for the country of Jordan, a flag flair/brad, a crest for Jordan and a crest for Amman.
(For those who'd like to see all my designs including other travel crests and brads, my designs are here: https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/anne-maclellan/designs ).
Jordan is a small semi arid country in the Middle East on the banks of the Jordan River. For Jordan's crest, I've chosen the city of Petra, an archaeological site located in the south of Jordan. Humans have lived in this area a long time, as early as 7000 BC. Petra was originally known as Raqmu and was built as early as the 5th century BC. Petra was a major trade centre but it's importance declined as sea trade routes were established and after an earthquake in 363 AD. It was eventually abandoned. It was rediscovered in the 19th century. Petra has been featured in many movies and books. This crest shows "the Monastery" in Petra, a building carved out of solid rock. It was probably built in the 1st century AD.

Me too. :) As you've probably guessed, I have a love of history, including ancient history.
And Petra - one of my all time favourite places that I would LOVE to see. This is at the top of my bucket list!!
