The discovery of a colossal basalt statue during a 2010 excavation in downtown Amman, Jordan, reveals intriguing historical layers. Although it was found in a Roman period context, the statue's design and motifs indicate it dates back to the Iron Age. This suggests that it was likely part of an architectural structure at the Amman Citadel (Jabal al-Qal'a), highlighting the region's rich cultural heritage and the complexities of its historical timeline.
