#AncientSiteSunday - The Nabataean Temple in Wadi Rum (Jordan), built during the reign of King Aretas IV between 9 BC and AD 40 on an earlier Thamudic site, was dedicated to the goddess Allat. Discovered in 1931, it resembles other Nabataean temples, like the Winged Lions Temple at Petra.

Other than much older cult activity on the site, we know this temple was built on the burnt remains of a previous archaic temple as chunks of this older structure were built into a pediment for the new temple

#AncientSiteSunday

🧵/4
The current temple has been dated to between 510-470 BC, there's an absence of written records about it, but it shares stylisitc hallmarks with other similar sites such as the Athenian treasury at Delphi (pictured right)

While its needed some help & restoration over the years, it is striking for the condition in which much of it has survived
& it really is a stunning location, overlooking the Saronic Gulf with Salamis & Sounion visible to the North

While the island is not exactly huge - it has an incredible Doric temple in its North eastern corner, the temple of Aphaia

#AncientSiteSunday

This is the island of Aegina, its part of the Saronic islands 🇬🇷
& its just 27km south of Athens,
Though its hardly an island you hear talked about among the famous Greek Islands

#AncientSiteSunday

#AncientSiteSunday & this is the temple of Aphaia on Aegina Island 🇬🇷
Not a part of Greece that you hear about anywhere near as often but definitely deserves a 🧵👇
