SAVE TO FAVORITE TRIPS Jordan History Jordan is a land steeped in history. It has been home to some of mankind's earliest settlements and villages, and relics of many of the world's great civilizations can still be seen today. As the crossroads of the Middle East, the lands of Jordan and Palestine have served as a strategic nexus connecting Asia, Africa and Europe. Thus, since the dawn of civilization, Jordan's geography has given it an important role to play as a conduit for trade and communications, connecting east and west, north and south. Jordan continues to play this role today. Because of its centralized location, the land of Jordan is a geographic prize which changed hands many times throughout antiquity. Parts of Jordan were included in the dominions of ancient Iraq, including the Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian and Mesopotamian Empires. From the west, Pharaonic Egypt extended its power and culture into Jordan, while the nomadic Nabateans built their empire in Jordan after migrating from the south of the Arabian peninsula. Finally, Jordan was incorporated into the classical civilizations of Greece, Rome and Persia, the relics of which are scattered across the Jordanian landscape. Since the mid-seventh century CE, the land of Jordan has remained almost continuously in the hands of various Arab and Islamic dynasties.

Ancient civilizations of Jordan have played an important part in human history. They have even been mentioned in ancient religious books. Ancient Christian and Jewish books mention Jordanian cities being taken by the Israelites, who wandered through Jordan on the way to the Promised Land. Archaeologists have found man-made tools in Jordan that date to the Paleolithic Era, between 500,000 BC and 17,000 BC. No human remains have ever been found in Jordan from this era, however. During the Neolithic Era, humans in Jordan settled into villages. Evidence of this can be found at Ein Ghazal in Amman, Jordan's capital city. In Ein Ghazal are ruins of neighborhoods of buildings and houses. In fact, one of the world's oldest statues was found at Ein Ghazal. It is almost 8,000 years old and measures about three and a half feet high. Jordan and its people developed cultures through trade with the peoples of nearby Palestine, Syria, and Egypt. Around the 13th century BC, the Egyptian Pharoah Tuthmosis III set up Egyptian rule in Canaana country that included parts of Jordan and Palestine. During the time of the Biblical Old Testament, Canaan came under attack from the Israelites, who had earlier escaped from slavery in Egypt. Attacks on Canaan by the Israelites and others reduced Egypt's control over the area. Egyptian rule of nearby lands was followed by Babylonian, Persian, Greek, and Roman rule.
