American Bill Smith with local guide Hassan was crisscrossing Morocco, a small country at the tip of North Africa. Following conversation begun on the highway to Chefchaoun:
Hassan: Passing by Volubilis, Romans were here.
Bill: Seriously?
Hassan: From first century CE. The land was fertile and close to water. Ruins are still here.
Bill: Let’s stop then.
Once inside, Bill explored “Triumphal Arch”, Corinthian columns of “Capitoline Temple”, and well-preserved colored mosaic floors. Throughout, history-lesson on the civilization’s demise kept on resurfacing. Suddenly he got a chill realizing same scenario appearing within his country.
Bill murmured: Only time will tell.
