Jerash City photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow The ancient city was buried in sand, which accounts for its remarkable preservation.
From the 7th century until the 300 BC the site was abandoned and visited only by nomadic
Nabataeans.
The historian Josephus regarded it as one of the most important cities in the Decapolis.
