Madain Salih (Building a miracle)

Hi everybody...,,
during the recently last weeks, we got a great deal of information about art and ancient art in Egypt & Greek. Really I excited about those articles which talked about pyramids and sculpture. And how the archeologies tried to analyze each piece from that time in order to know

[ how those people lived,,,,

[ what customs they had,,,,

[ how those people were thinking and what their beliefs in life,,,,

really that was so amazing for moments I felt like I had been in that world. All that persuade me to know more about ancient art, so I read about another ancient art that is located in my country - Saudi Arabia -. It is the ancient art in Madain Salih. And here is some interesting information about it.
Madain Salih

it is located in the North West of Saudi Arabia near to Al-Madina ( a famous city in Saudi Arabia). It's old name is Alhijer. It considers as stone homes because people who lived there tried to dig mountains and created houses for them inside the mountains. They were super creative in doing that. They built amazing houses inside the mountains and lived there for many years. Actually, that was a pre-islamic archaeological site. A majority of the houses date from the Nabatean kingdom( 1st century B.C.E), another sources tell of an earlier statement of the area by the tribe of Thamoud in the 3rd millennium B.C.E. By the time, those site became tombs and temples for other tribes.

Jabal Ithlib
One of the Obvious features is a religious area, known as Jabal Ithlib. there is a sculpture within the Rock Hall, called a large open court, surrounded by two columns and some of the terraces on stone and because of North wind faced no sunlight, and some suggest this place is deep security and calm, making the place solemn, and give climbing a mountain fascinating scene to Madain Saleh.

The girl palace
Outside the palace painted girls and snakes in the form of a triangle to represent the keeper of the grave, and this is an example of the impact of Greek art Nabati, the building stopped suddenly for completing the construction of this tomb, which gives us a look at the technique of Construction, which was from top to bottom.

Actually, there are more of amazing archecultuer in Madain Salih, it's really one of the wonderfull ancint arts in the world.

Finally I hope you enjoyed that And there is much interesting information about Madain Salih

10$ million dollars

Imagine that you just won 10$ million dollars, what will you do? What would you like to buy? Would you save some money, or give some to charity?

In the beginning, I would like to tell you about a funny story I heard about the origin of money. The story says, a money is word came from Latin language means " Goose". However, there was a village in Rome had a lot of treasures. Then, the thieves tried to attack the treasures in the midnight when the people was sleeping, it wasn't a watchman but the geese that heard them. The geese immediately started honking which made it possible for the Romans to defined their treasures. That's the story as I heard it.

For me,,,[

Now, I imagine that I won 10$ million dollars $$$$ waaaow $$. [ what would I like to do? Actually I think I don't need all that amount of money in my life. If I have and there are people can't eat enough food, there are people can't sleep in a warm house. and maybe there are other people possible get die because of extreme poverty. I think this isn't fair. So, I hope everyone in the world lives a decent life. I want to give a half of that money to charity. Then I want to buy a big House for all my family. Also, I hope to travel to all beautiful places in the world. Finally, maybe I'll save just small amount of money because I won't live forever. So, I want to enjoy ;)

# " It is better to eat bread in peace than cake in fear "

Do you think that's right??
In my opinion, I think this moral is very realistic. Because everybody wants to live a good life and free life. We just live once, so we are supposed to have a comfortable life even if we just have few things. Happiness doesn't depend on money. Does it??


# " Look before you leap "

You should be careful in your steps. You have to think about possible results before you step any step . because your position in the future is connected with your present leap. "a step" is an important word, and we have to think delicately about it. Certainly, all our lives is the result of steps that we have taken in life.



# " You can't please everyone "

I liked this moral the best. I think it means " just live your life". People have different opinions. Everybody lives in his own way, and if you tried to live as his way, might other people will not be pleased with you, so why?? If you are living comfortably, that's fine. By the way, they never will live as you like and they never live your life, so just be honest with yourself and enjoy your life.

Do you agree with me in all of that??? If you have another opinion, I would like to know that?
Thank you for your sharing
