House of the Sprite, the mysterious rocks of the States

On the eastern plateaus overlooking the Jordan Valley are stone structures in the form of a box known as Dolmen, which gathers the most experts as a historical legacy dating back to about 5,000 BC.

And weighs the tiles (Dolmen)) stone towards the ton and stands vertically covered from the top stone tile similar to what the form of the box

These stone structures were used as tombs at the beginning of the early Bronze Age in terms of the structure of the building, which is characterized by elongation, narrow entrance and space that allows a person to lie down.

The Dulmans sites were monitored in large numbers near the Jordan Valley, most notably in the fields of Damia, Kafriuba, Jabal Al Mutawq, Koura, Wadi Hasban, Sahab, Naour and Qania. In a number of countries around the world, particularly in the Arab region, Britain, Ireland and Spain.

The old word "dolmen" means the stone table, consisting of four vertical stone blocks, perpendicularly covered by a massive stone mass. Sometimes, in this rocky form, there is a narrow opening at one end to enter into the dolmen.

It is difficult to carry or transport these ancient rock masses, each weighing more than one ton on several tons, which requires the cooperation of a large group of people to establish such monuments.

Dolmen is also known as the House of Ghoul, where only giants are believed to be able to build it, but evidence suggests that Dolmen was used as a burial chamber if some models had rooms dug below the level of the floor and dedicated to burying the dead. In the field of Damiya archaeological bodies burned and buried with the deceased some of his own objects such as pottery, weapons and ornaments, and some of the country was covered with a pile of stone hide for the dead.

There are hundreds of "dolmen" fields in Jordan, the most important of which are concentrated in the areas of Damia, Deraa, Al-Rawdah, Al-Daydah and the southern Shouneh. These fields are usually composed of rock groups with more than 100 monuments each.

The Jordan Valley is a cultural and historical heritage

The Jordan Valley is a cultural and historical heritage of Jordan for the peoples and nations that inhabited it for more than ten thousand years until it became the cradle of travelers, researchers and historians since the first century AD.

Archaeological discoveries in many of the sites covered by the survey reflected an important historical and cultural dimension, making it a wide part of world fame for its light on the history of ancient humanity.

The most important archaeological sites in the Jordan Valley - Tal Saidia, Tel Mazar, Tal Damia, Tel Daraala, Tel Fortin, Tel Abu Hamid, and Tulips Tulip, and Bab El-Arma, Tel Aldolat, Tel Kafrin, Tel Ramah, Zara, and the site of the Bath Jesus Christ .

The Damiya archaeological field contains stone fields and monuments known as dolmens. These monuments are spread over the rugged rocky mountains, which distinguishes them from the rest of the well-known Dolmens fields in the world.

Damia is one of the most important sites in the Jordan Valley, which has more than 200 historical and archaeological sites dating from the Stone Age to the Late Islamic Period.

Its origin and history

As for the history of its construction and its aims, the studies conducted on dolmens sites to determine their history and the period of their construction have confirmed that they came from the opinions put forward by many scientists through archaeological and field studies. The world of Neuville attributed it to four thousand years BC and the world ANATL The fifth millennium BCE, while Devuex was attributed to the Stone Age (early and modern), and was attributed by Dr. Khair Yassin to the beginning of the Bronze Ages. Some scholars, historians and scholars pointed out that these stone monuments were used as tombs in the Bronze and Iron Ages.

Al-Qatin found 61 monuments that revealed fossils that date back to the Iron Age and Bronze Age. This indicates that the monuments were built in the early Bronze Age and were reused in the Iron Age as mass graves. This is evidence of a cremation of the bodies of the dead in that era.

The occupied Syrian Golan Heights contain 52 dolmens of various types and dimensions, which were drilled in different fields. Most of these monuments were built between the old and the middle Bronze Ages.
