Roman baths (Amman)

Roman baths uncovered in Amman in 2020 during infrastructure works

• ... that the uncovered Roman baths (pictured) in Amman in 2020 led to speculations by antiquities officials that other ancient ruins still lie beneath the city's downtown area?

• Comment: Source used, 7iber: "وقد لا يكون منفصلَا كذلك عن آثار مجاورة يتوقع خبراء أنها ما زالت غير مكتشفة، وهو ما ينسجم مع استخدام دائرة الآثار عبارة: ما عُثر عليه «حتّى الآن»، في ردّها على أسئلة حبر حول الأثر المكتشف."

"It may not be separate from neighboring antiquities that experts expect are still undiscovered, which is consistent with the Department of Antiquities’ use of the phrase: what has been found “so far,” in its response to 7iber’s questions about the discovered antiquity."

• ALT1: ... that Roman baths (pictured) were uncovered in Amman in 2020? (am encountering a bold/italics issue), Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 10:10, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Overall: I have proposed a slightly streamlined version of the original hook as ALT1, and am approving that; good to go, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 10:10, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

@Maculosae tegmine lyncis: I think the proposed alt does not really capture the essence of the original hook. Here's Alt 2: "* ... that the discovery of the Roman baths in Amman in 2020 suggests there could be more ancient ruins hidden beneath the city's downtown area?"Makeandtoss (talk) 10:14, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

I don't know if your hook citation above is an RS and don't want to click on it to find out; also, it's not surprising or notable that there may be ancient remains; someone else may be willing to approve if you prefer/insist, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 10:19, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

@Maculosae tegmine lyncis: Actually, never mind, found a better ALT3: " ... that two headless white marble statues found in Amman's Roman baths (pictured) in 2020 were carved from stone quarried in Greece?" [1] Makeandtoss (talk) 11:17, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Good to go with ALT3 please; thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 14:32, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
