The National Archaeological Museum is an important area for the introduction of archaeological discoveries in Jordan, where many archaeological facilities have been excavated in the upper world, and many rich artworks and souvenirs from the ancient Roman period have been discovered and displayed here.
The National Archaeological Museum is a very exciting place, archaeology in Jordan is very rich, this museum is also a very fun place, but it is beautiful and noisy, many colors of the ancient Roman Empire some figures. [View] The whole view is beautiful [Fun] Very interesting
Built in 1951, the museum is not big, but the selection of cultural relics from various eras in the history of human settlement development is very simple, from the cultural relics of the decline of Rome to the skulls of mankind, to the Dead Sea Scrolls, to the jewelry and crock pots of ancient times, these cultural relics are of excellent quality, The biggest highlight is that these cultural relics are rare treasures, but they are all placed outside, rarely put behind the glass for people to watch, so that under the premise of not destroying cultural relics, every tourist can observe these and their precious historical relics in a more omnidirectional three-dimensional manner. See the world with fate
Although the area is small, there are many collections. A large number of Jordanian cultural relics from prehistoric period to the 15th century are collected and displayed, including statues from 8000 to 6000 B.C. and inscriptions recording the history of exchanges between Jordan, Syria, Egypt and other countries. Because of the time, although it is a quick glimpse, it is still amazed at Jordan's long history and culture.
Usually Amman is the first stop in Jordan, Castle Hill is the first stop in Amman. To be honest, the Middle East countries along the way looked at the past, Castle Hill did not surprise me much. It is a good collection of the National Museum of Castle Mountain, but unfortunately the work of cultural relics protection is worrying. The pile of thousands of years old antiques is so open that they are not controlled by wet and not controlled by heat. It is likely that you will go later, Castle Mountain is still there, but the collections in the museum may disappear. There are museums that have opening hours, but Castle Hill is open longer. If you don't have enough time, it's best to see the museum first. Castle Hill is not available.
