AI-generated Abstract

The excavation at Umm Qays in 1998, part of a continued archaeological effort dating back to 1986, uncovered an Early Christian basilica characterized by its five aisles, marking it as the first of its kind east of the Jordan. Additional findings included a Late Hellenistic fortress and a Roman mausoleum, with the basilica situated atop a Roman hypogeum and a nearby Christian crypt. The project was supported by various academic institutions and involved a comprehensive study of the site's topography, leading to insights into its historical and cultural significance.
