"Jerash is known for the ruins of the Greco-Roman city of Gerasa, also referred to as Antioch on the Golden River. It is sometimes misleadingly referred to as the "Pompeii of the Middle East or Asia", referring to its size, extent of excavation and level of preservation (though Jerash was never buried by a volcano). Jerash is considered one of the most important and best preserved Roman cities in the Near East. It was a city of the Decapolis.

Jerash was the home of Nicomachus of Gerasa (Greek: Νικόμαχος) (c. 60 – c. 120) who is known for his works Introduction to Arithmetic (Arithmetike eisagoge), The Manual of Harmonics and The Theology of Numbers. In Boethius Latin translation, this book remained the standard mathematics textbook for the Latin European Middle Ages. "

Menurut citer Tuk Wi, Petra tu bermakna Batu (Bahasa Yunani @ Greek). Petra juga adalah salah satu dari 7 keajaiban dunia. Kata Tuk Wi lagi Kota Petra telah didirikan dengan memahat dinding2 batu2 di Yordania dan Petra juga merupakan simbol teknik dan Perlindungan.

"Petra is a historic and archaeological city in the Jordanian governorate of Ma'an that has rock cut architecture and water conduits system. Established sometime around the 6th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans,it is a symbol of Jordan as well as its most visited tourism attraction.It lies on the slope of Mount Hor in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba"
