thank you for this big attention, around what you say "it is far away and nobody fed the information to people from a silver dish with a golden spoon.
It is unfortunately true that we live in a consumer society" well No one fed me the info from silver dish and golden spoon and i never use to take the info i need from even regular dish, Lizzy nice from you to defence and nice from you to pay attention this much for my blog, but i would say ( racism leak under Arab Civilizations and Petra was small Example) if i wana add more prove to my blog about the Racism that America and Europe act at Arab Civilization i will not finish, better to set next to me and dont step front of me.
Peace

I've been thinking about this, and here's a thought..
In my previous comments I tried to maintain the thought that the general ignorance of Petra is not due to racism but just because it is far away and nobody fed the information to people from a silver dish with a golden spoon.
It is unfortunately true that we live in a consumer society, so anything's, even a complete rubbish, that is marketed heavily will sell well. If you convince people that they need to hear that popsinger or wear that fashion, they will do it. Meanwhile many more useful things fall to ignorance simply because people don't have information about them.
The same thing can be used with Petra. For example, everybody knows about the Pyramids in Egypt. But actually all the tourist has seen is just a very old heap of stones. However, there's the whole legendarium that comes with it that makes it special. There's legends about pharaohs, stories of explorers, constant scientist discoveries, speculations about how it was made so long ago and so on and so forth. The Pyramids of Egypt are so popular simply because they are so well known, they are heavily promoted everywhere you go, they are extremely recognisable besides being easily accessible and the whole tourism structure revolving about it.
Why the same thing couldn't be used in Jordan? There must be many amazing stories about it. Dry history facts are not digestable, you need to make those stories amazing, exciting, mysterious, attract the imagination. You need to promote the image of Petra everywhere. And I don't mean in books like "1001 places you need to see before you die", somewhere in page 237. That will only convince die-hard travellers. It must be made popular, recognisable, imprinted on everybody's mind. Don't expect the mountain to come to you, go and reach out to the mountain (which is the general public). And of course, Jordan would need to think how to make the tourism sustainable. Because from what I have heard, the tourists currently make more damage to this rather fragile site than bring profit.
And to conclude, well... if you say "if you haven't heard about Petra then you're a racist". It's like as if a shopkeeper would say to you "if you don't buy my vegetables, then your mother is a pig". Would you want to buy from such a shopkeeper? Pity the ignorant, but don't abuse them, rather teach them.
Peace with you :)

I was not there to publish my CV, but just to show the difference that is between people in the same classroom that either use their time for gaining the facts about our earth or rather take to wasting their time with more "interesting" but sadly less informative activities. My whole point was that it is not racism but just a sad result (of individual choice) of not paying attention to anything (whether it would be the existence of Petra or who is the president of his own country).

Study of the biology intertwined with the knowledge of defense about issues has become a sad fact

Your expectations is properly not right,
So to say that was clearly attacks to my person
Any way Thanks for the post

I forgot to tell you that this page is set to introduce the Arab civilizations and not the place to show us your CV

I think you're using translator now... At least the formation of sentences becomes a little bit weird.. Pardon me if I am wrong.
But I still disagree. You see, I gained from my studies in school perhaps at least twice as much as some of my classmates, and certainly at least 10 times as much in the topic of Biology. But is it the reason of some politicians or just my classmates' unwillingness/laziness to learn?
I am not supporting ignorance, quite the opposite. But I just saying you're a bit too fast to point a finger towards racism as long as it is everyone else but not you.

But I do agree that Petra is a beautiful, magnificent place and shamefully not known as it should be. And so are many spots on this earth. And so are many wonderful facts about the earth on which we are living.

These statistics are measured and found non-seasoned politicians to keep their own people do not know the other facts, wich it was good cover for more cases is more important than it, any way You are on the subject of another side drag me to pay attention. but i would like to stay on My subject.

P.S. And I never agreed that the lack of concern is deliberate. If it is deliberate in the terms that the lack of concern is instilled deliberately by the whole politics of education and the general awareness, then yes, it is a racism.
But what do you expect from people who are so illiterate that some of them don't even know their own capital (a real case from UK survey of 15-year-olds)? Are you sure that it is a deliberate racism if besides not knowing many more facts about their closest events they also are not aware of one beautiful place?

Well, all I am saying that for you it doesn't matter much if I am a Russian or a Latvian (we're far-away strangers anyway), therefore you might not know the difference. Therefore I claim it is practically the same thing. There are many things about which Arabs don't know and don't care. But shall we call it all a lack of concern and thus a racism? Or you want to say that only West are racist? If you say so, then in a sense it also is racism (or at least a chauvinism). Think well...

Never did not happen that one compare the lack of knowledge with lack of concern. and if its happened, it is the result of lack of experience in life

Your attack to the Arabs who do not distinguish that Latvia is a state separate from Russia void of racism.
Arabs now lacking science and knowledge and because of their preoccupation with matters of life that synthesized and made from the West  In America and Europe.
Lack of knowledge is not a racist. But ignorance and lack of interest as you called it (Dont Care) is the basis of racism in the human.

So when people from your country can't tell the difference between Latvia and Russia (because they just don't care since it has never affected them), then I also can call it a racism?

This trend of lack of interest reflected on the future generations with very negative way, especially as the general public take the negative side and they leave the light sides.
I agreed withyou in what You said except that we call the lack of interest ~Dont Care~ , its Racism.

My point was that even many nice points in West are also in total obliteration, because people just don't care. Don't see it as a racism, just a general "don't care" thing. And it is not just only directed against things that are important to you. This "don't care" is for anything that doesn't bring easy money or can't be sold that easily. For example, I am from a small country that hardly anybody knows, even within Europe. But I don't think it is racism, only ignorance about things that don't concern them directly.

Ir mēģinājums izpētīt arhitektūru Nabati vēl mysterious slepenībā, kā veidot Petra @ Llona

Intransigence of the West in an attempt to obliterate the ancient civilizations is one of the most prominent roles of racism. We tried all our efforts to make Petra one of the seven wonders of the world have been voting from around the world and Petra won and now it's one of the seven wonders of the world.

Well, actually you should be glad even about the Indiana Jones movie. The level of the average person's ignorance is astounding, most of the inhabitants of the earth will not be able to tell the difference between Petra and Patra(s) (just to take 2 similar sounding places at random). So if there is a way to imprint that image upon their minds in any way, even through a silly action movie, it is already an improvement. Trust me, there are even more wonderful places on this world, that even don't have that much of Hollywood-based recognition, as feeble as it may seem.

Majestātiski! Pat mazliet baisi...Cik cilvēks patiesībā ir sīks pret to, ko pats ir radījis...
