Amidst the desert sands of Shunet Nimrin, Majid Pacha Sheik Adwan of the Adwan tribe, grandson of Sheik Sultan, sat outside his tent in the company of esteemed guests. In this historic moment, the airfield at Amman, Jordan, buzzed with activity in April 1921. T.E. Lawrence, the renowned British archaeologist and military figure, and Sir Herbert Samuel, the first High Commissioner of Palestine, gathered to discuss the future of the region. Above them, a Spiny Spider Crab (Maja squinado), a reminder of the vast and diverse natural world, added an intriguing contrast to the political intrigue. Meanwhile, the Ottoman Naval ship, Abdul Medgid, anchored in the distance, symbolizing the remnants of the once powerful Ottoman Empire.
