Hajr al-Mansub

Hajr al-Mansub is one of the most impressive menhirs (standing stones) in Jordan, located . Standing approximately 2.5 meters tall, this isolated menhir is associated with the Early Bronze ceremonial center and dolmen field at Murayghat, 1 kilometer to the west (the latter site has been photographed and will eventually be presented in the Virtual World Project too). Unfortunately, this menhir and the many monuments at Murayghat are in danger due to the expanding quarry nearby.

Stop by the Virtual World Project and marvel at this monument.
