It is cruical that people take a stance on the immenent need to protect the ancient dolmen found throughout Jordan. There is no reason to allow the unneccessary destruction of ancient megalithic sturctures to be destoyed due to the ignorance and lack of respect for ancient heritage. Once they are disturbed their purpose and value could be lost forever. It is appauling to witness their destruction over the past century after realizing they have been standing undisturbed upon the land for nearly 6,000 years through earthquakes, floods, and fires.
