Anna J, it is still magnificent now & is mostly intact. I've been fortunate enough to spend time in Jordan because of work and have seen many of the historic sites.

Player #40905528, academically, CE is used because it doesn’t have a Christian meaning like AD (Anno Domini- year of our Lord) and Christians make up only a percentage of people on the planet. I will say that since the dividing line between BCE and CE is still the birth of Jesus, it’s all kinda moot.

It’s a beautiful artifact which I was unaware of until we visited.
