Rumors, Roses, and a Quiet Promise: The Legend of DiMaggio and Monroe
Rumors, Roses, and a Quiet Promise: The Legend of DiMaggio and Monroe When a public romance shined as bright as Marilyn Monroe’s glow on a Hollywood stage, the afterglow can outlive the headlines.

Among those tales, one persists with stubborn tenderness: the idea that DiMaggio, devastated by Monroe’s death, sent red roses to her crypt three times a week for two decades, never remarried, and allegedly uttered his final words, “I’ll finally get to see Marilyn.”

Amman Citadel: Layers of History and Civilization in Jordan
The Amman Citadel, perched on Jabal al-Qal’a, offers a living chronicle of civilizations stacked across time. From the Ammonites of the 9th century BCE, whose inscriptions to Milkom survive, to Roman temples, Byzantine churches, and Umayyad palaces, the site reflects continual reconstitution. The Temple of Hercules, colossal ruins, Byzantine adaptations, and Umayyad architecture illustrate layers of cultural inheritance, interrupted by earthquakes and restored in modern times. The Archaeological Museum, once home to the Dead Sea Scrolls, deepens the story. Visiting reveals more than ruins—it is a lesson in how civilizations adapt, recycle, and endure, while raising questions about humanity’s future.
