[from wiki] Umm ar-Rasas (Arabic: أم الرّصاص) (Kastrom Mefa'a, Kastron Mefa'a) is an archeological site in Jordan which contains ruins from the Roman, Byzantine, and early Muslim civilizations. The majority of the site has not been excavated. Among the portions excavated so far include a military camp and several churches. For its unique blend of civilizations, Um er-Rasas was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004.
The most important discovery on the site was the mosaic floor of the Church of St Stephen. It was made in 785 (discovered after 1986). The perfectly preserved mosaic floor is the largest one in Jordan. On the central panel, hunting and fishing scenes are depicted, while another panel illustrates the most important cities of the region including Philadelphia (Amman), Madaba, Esbounta (Heshbon), Belemounta (Ma'an), Areopolis (Ar-Rabba), Charac Moaba (Karak), Jerusalem, Nablus, Caesarea, and Gaza. The frame of the mosaic is especially decorative. Six mosaic masters signed the work: Staurachios from Esbus, Euremios, Elias, Constantinus, Germanus, and Abdela. It overlays another, damaged, mosaic floor of the earlier (587) Church of Bishop Sergius. Another four churches were excavated nearby with traces of mosaic decoration.
This rasam powder recipe helps to prepare rasam in a breeze. All the spices that are used while preparing rasam are combined and grinded into rasam powder, just add few teaspoons of this powder to the tamarind - tomato base, give a boil and your rasam is ready. If you are an office goer or a busy homemaker, you can sun dry the ingredients for 2 to 3 days and grind it, no dry roasting is needed which saves your time. For the past couple of years only, I am preparing rasam powder on my own, before that I used to buy commercial packets. But I feel it is expensive too and we don't get the aroma as we get in homemade rasam powder / podi.

Um er-Rasas (Kastrom Mefa’a)
Veel van dit archeologische gebied – dat begon als Romeins militair kamp en vanaf de 5e eeuw uitgroeide tot een stad – is nog niet opgegraven. Um er-Rasas bevat overblijfselen uit de Romeinse, Byzantijnse en vroeg-islamitische periode (eind 3e tot 9e eeuw na Christus) en een versterkt Romeins militair kamp. Het gebied heeft ook 16 kerken, sommige met goed bewaarde mozaïekvloeren. Vooral de mozaïekvloer van de kerk van Sint Stephanus met zijn voorstelling van steden uit de regio is erg bijzonder. Um er-Rasas is omgeven door, en bezaaid met overblijfselen van oude agrarische teelt in een droog gebied.
------------------------------------
Much of this archaeological area - which began as a Roman military camp and evolved into a city from the 5th century - has not yet been excavated. Um er-Rasas contains relics from the Roman, Byzantine and early Muslim periods (late 3rd to 9th centuries AD) and a fortified Roman military camp. The area also has 16 churches, some with well-preserved mosaic floors. Especially the mosaic floor of the church of St. Stephanus with its representation of cities from the region is very special. Um er-Rasas is surrounded by, and dotted with remains of old agricultural cultivation in a dry area.
