Explanation:
[STC002244] The city that is now known as Amman was originally established between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago. Prior to being conquered by King David, it served as the capital of the ancient Ammonite kingdom for a period of time. In turn, it was conquered by King Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt some 2,300 years ago, and in his honor, it was renamed Philadelphia. Ptolemy was the son of one of Alexander the Great’s generals and his new city flourished for many centuries before being abandoned in the medieval era for reasons that we still do not understand today. In the 19th century, it underwent a period of resettlement, and in the years immediately following World War I, it was chosen to serve as the capital of the brand-new nation of Jordan.
