Is it a bit strange to have an ancient Roman ruin in Morocco? Two thousand years ago, the strong Roman Empire not only dominated the whole of southern Europe, but also extended its territory to the vast areas on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, which is now Egypt, Algeria, Morocco in Africa, and thus became the inner lake of the Roman Empire. The thoughtful Romans found the vast land and pleasant climate of northern Morocco suitable for wheat, and made it a granary of the Roman Empire. The ancient city of Meknes/Worubilis is excellently located on a slope, surrounded by vast fields, convenient transportation, and not afraid of flooding. Although Worubilis is a site of the city pool two thousand years ago, the scale of the building is still magnificent from afar. Two thousand years ago, public facilities and houses were covered with tiles, and even now they are luxurious and upscale. In 476 AD, the Germans led the army to deposed the last emperor of Western Rome, and the West Roman Empire was destroyed. Warrubilis was abandoned in the vast history. Do you feel a little familiar? Yes, the famous Oscar-winning American film "General Barton" is shot here. Watch the world as you go.
