It was a terrible night; the one in which Mount Robin was split up by a violent earthquake; In 1759, the earthquake left a trace that still remains today.. It is the old man’s crack located in southern Jordan, specifically in the Al-Humayma area.

An area that does not calm down. It is within the range of tremors and earthquakes, as some residents of the place tell that another strong earthquake occurred in 1956, destroying many homes and widening the old man’s fissure for about three meters.

According to the residents of the place, the generations narrate the secret of naming the narrowest Siq in Jordan, which is called “Shaq the Old Man.” One day in the past, an elderly old woman fell inside it while she was returning to her home after a tour she had taken to collect firewood. His name became “The Old Man’s Shack” since that time.

An activist’s camera captured videos of the fissure in 2022, while a number of adventurers tried to pass through it.
