regarding the location of bakkah article

peace

something recently dawned on me regarding that article, especially where it mentions Lot...i am in possession of a piece of pottery that was taken from an archaeological site at Tall al Umayri in Jordan...the location is a site of the Ammonites, descendants of Ammon, apparently the Hebrew name of one of Lot's sons...

does anyone know of any sites i can use in mapping coordinates that will show me the relation of petra to tall al umayri?

awaiting replies

Peace,

I am posting the link to a Jordan meterolgical site which lists all the cities, towns and villages and then gives their exact co-ordinates of a map...

I tried to look for the name you mentioned 'Tall Al Umayri' but did not find a match (maybe you will have better luck  :wink: ).

i'll ask my friend who gave me the piece if there is another name for the area in which they found it...

until then...

oh i can't be sure, that was just something i was investigating all those months ago.

lately i'm not even sure if what i am reading is really about places, or more about mindsets or states of being...or all of them together...i really can't say with any certainty yet, so i will just keep searchin Quran to find out the answers i need
