Right now, this is ripped right from the article on Jordan itself. It should be changed or else its a prime vfd candidate. --Woohookitty 05:03, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Ancient History

This does not mention the military campaigns led by Moses in ancient Jordan. Is there no archaeology to support this? The tribes of Gad and Reuben were assigned land in what is now Jordan. The half-tribe of Manasseh also gained land on the East Bank after Moses conquered ancient Transjordan. Iosef aetos 16:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those are some long dark ages there.

Just came across this article.... It seems that Jordan has absolutely no history until 1920 since long before the time of christ. Surely though this isn't true...- Wasn't there the Roman Empire, various Arab dynasties, etc...--Him and a dog 12:42, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1919 Paris agreement. This instrument of International Law assigned half of Palestine to the Jews and half to the Arabs. It was signed by Weizman and King Feisal. Under the principle of estoppel it is still the overriding law pertaining to Palestine. No UN resolution (Chapter 6 or 7) or later agreement such as Oslo has any effect in law. The so called two state solution has been in place for over 90 years!
