Feeling Home in the Mountains

The rocks in Petra and the surroundings are quite old but very interesting. I took some interest on it due to my line of work and the project I was on. It’s called the Disi Formation of Early Cambrian age, which is more than 500 million years old.

The rocks and the mountains in Jordan offer some the most impressive sights. To a geologist this is a place for respite and yearning. Even for our prophets, the desert and rocky mountains had its special place in religion, in providing needed solace.
