In the late 19th century, Christians from Karak settled there. For example, in "Archaeologist," the pompous leader of an archaeological caravan pontificates about the difficult search ahead for the lost city of Karak, only to step out of his jeep onto a "Welcome to Karak" stone tablet. Serendipitously, the explosion revealed some boxes of photographs--old pictures, long unseen--of Petra and Jerash; of Circassians surveying the territory for a possible new home; and of Felix Bonfils--an early photographer based in Beirut--his son Adrian, and their dagger-wearing butler; and of Amman, Karak and the ancient city of Salt--the first capital of the Emirate of Trans-Jordan. |
