Scale is not often given its proper due. When we see the remnants of the old world in pictures and movies it hard to grasp how absolutely massive these monoliths were. And it was done to by hand more than two thousand years ago. I’d dare to say that places like Petra will still be where they are now long after the cities of the new world are mere rubble. If you do ever go to a place like this, you need at least three full days allotted to just walking around. We stopped by here in 2012 off the MEU, and I will tell you this; if you join the military to see the world, and it’s not the navy, you made a mistake. Yes, marines are in ship, but you have to luck out to get in on that kind of ride.
