Muallaqat al-Dayr archaeological site in Jordan

Muallaqat al Dayr archaeological site in Jordan. Muallaqat al-Dayr (al-Dayr mean monastery). Located about 14 km from Amman's 1st circle, passing Wadi Seer town in the Western Amman's outskirts. At the valley floor, left from a gardening center and café, 320 m uphill on a small road, a staircase that will bring you up to a strange double chamber cut into the rock face, with a narrow entrance door and triangular window openings.
Muallaqat al-Dayr is an ancient "columbarium" (dovecote) more than 7 meter high, divided in two chambers. Its interior displays about 800 triangular niches carved into the walls in three floors.
The continuous reuse of such caves makes dating their origin difficult, but her analysis of a newly discovered dovecote at 'Ain al-Baida, allow to assume that the site at Iraq al Amir is as old as from the late Iron II period (this is official information !).
Similar triangular niches in a columbarium (dovecote) - I saw in Israel (in ancient land of Canaan tribes).
The question is, is this structure a “columbarium”? or the so-called “pigeons holes”? - this is a very big and complex question. Although there is no doubt that people could indeed use at least some of these structures later as columbariums or dovecotes... But this is such a complex and inconvenient form - that everything is a very big question.

That's right near my home. I was born in Amman and grew up in Irbid Jordan, we used to play in wadi seer all the time. Abraham's grave is apparently there too... almost every inch of Jordan is covered in ancient and forgotten sites. Those always reminded my of pigeon sheds. Many people still keep massive flock of the delicious bird in Jordan. Every bit of it can and was historical used, even it's poop as fertilizer and later in the making of gunpowder... :D

Pigeon coup or Dovecote were my first thoughts too

[@vlad9vt]

Thank you for watching. I have great doubts that all this was originally built for pigeons.. But who knows? I didn’t stand there with a candle in those places in those days, and I can’t say anything

I have been watching your videos for a long time I find them entertaining and definitely educational I really miss and I think you got copyrighted for some reason but I really miss some of your early videos where you did the lineage of the Sumerians and whatnot and maybe even the lineage of other species that were here Love those old videos wish I could get a copy of that

[@vlad9vt]

I can send old videos by mail on a Kingston flash drive (there are a lot of videos there) but you will have to pay for the cost of the flash drive and for postage to your country... The second option you need to wait until I redo all these videos and upload them again to KZbin

[@rogerscottcathey]

It's difficult to conceive those triangular niches were simply design embellishments. I wonder if they were actually bee hives. That they were set up to harvest honey. At one time there were probably floor joists and wood floors for that three story affair. I doubt it would be anything like a comfortable home.

[@vlad9vt]

I think that the ceiling between the floors was monolithic stone... then it was destroyed

It was either a bibliotech or place where deeds were kept😁🍭

what's weird about this place is those triangle niches don't look deepo enough for doves to live in....#

[@vlad9vt]

but this does not bother official science in any way - they have always given three hypotheses, or a columbarium, or pigeon holes .. or recently a hypothesis appeared - that supposedly for beekeeping (for bees)

I wonder how the energy is in those rooms, a triangular is the basic form of every energy geometrically. This could have easily been a healing station or something to move energetically or spiritually higher.

[@vlad9vt]

Who knows? Nobody really knows this.. But this place is relatively close to Mount Hermon (Gate of the “Fallen Angels” 200 Igigi)

[@Ostarrichi996]

@@vlad9vt it is a common knowledge in all spiritual traditions across the earth. many masters have known this, well written in ancient scriptures especially in the eastern regions like india and near east as shown in your video. it is not this new age superficial spiritality but the core out of which these civilizations built all these great monuments and had their own science far beyond our modern science. the Sufis, the Yogis, the Lamas, the Gnostics.
