dc.description	two identical palaces built side by side; "...in the Wadi Ghadaf, about 60 miles south-east of Amman...an enormous oblong enclosure, lying roughly east and west and measuring 140.50 by 72.85 meters (461 x 239 feet), almost a double square.It may in fact be regarded as two symmetrical enclosures, each a little over 70 meters (230 feet) square, placed in contact with each other and communicating with each other by a door in the center of the side in contact, access to which is expressly provided for by a corridor that can have no other purpose...The enclosure was flanked by five semicircular towers on the south side, and by two on the east and west sides, in addition to which there was a round tower at each corner...The decoration of the whole building is confined to the doorposts and lintels...the eastern half of the enclosure appears to have been an exact replica of the western."	en_US
