Ma'rakah Yarmouk - The Yarmouk War Battlefield

Sooo, my friends and I joined went to Ma'rakah Yarmouk, the battlefield that witnessed the Battle of Yarmouk, a major battle between the Muslim Arabs of the Rashidun Calihate and the armies of Roman-Byzantine Empire from 15-20 August 636.


Honestly, I don't even know what this is. There was no explanation there. So yup it's just a..pointy pole? -.-



Eh eh

Now, this is the battlefield

See that white building? That's more or less Israel. Oh no wait a sec. According to human rights it's Palestine.

History sharing 

And oh we celebrated the birthday-s of a few of our friends

A game as a part of the activity

And..lunch! 

Did I mention that the battle was a complete Muslim victory? :) One of Khalid ibn Al-Walid's greatest military victories.
