Professor Bettany Hughes explores the artistic and cultural wonders of Jordan. A strategic crossing point for East and West, Jordan has been the centre of great civilisations throughout human history. Bettany discovers the Biblical sites Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the Dead Sea and Machaerus, where John the Baptist was beheaded. At Karak and Shobak Castles, Bettany unearths little-known history from the crusading period, a time when the medieval Christian West came up against the mighty Islamic powers in a cat and mouse religious war that had far reaching implications still felt to this day.
