	USCA1 Opinion 01-2127
		Karak asserted that this affidavit constituted new, previously undiscovered evidence supporting his position, and that it proved the falsity of Bursaw's representations to the district court.
		Karak did not carry this burden: he himself eschewed any attempt to explain the delay in adducing Yaeger's version of the facts, and the Yaeger affidavit provided nothing suggesting that Yaeger was unavailable during the weeks leading up to the entry of judgment.
		Karak endeavors to blunt the force of this reasoning by bemoaning that the case moved at lightning speed, thus depriving him of a fair chance to marshal his proof.

		It is important to recognize that Karak is one example of the many fortified towns of the Crusader, Ayyubid and Mamluk period.

	situation of the Bedouin of Jordan's Karak plateau, The Journal of Third World Studies - Find Articles
		The Karak Plateau has a typically Mediterranean climate type, that is winter precipitation and summer drought, but of the driest aspect.3 Precipitation amounts are at their greatest along the crest of the escarpment and exceed 300 mm, but do not exceed 400 mm anywhere.
		Settlement on the Karak Plateau prior to this century reached its greatest density and extent during the Late Roman and Byzantine periods, between 64 BC and 640 AD and was focused on the Kings Highway which conveniently bifurcated the zone of maximum precipitation.
		By 640 AD, the Karak Plateau came under the influence of Islam and a long period of depopulation and Bedounization.4 The urban-village population in 1890 was confined to Karak and three other small villages on the 900-1000 m contour where permanent springs are found along the precipitous drop to the Dead Sea.

	Article: The Karak District in the Madaba Map (by Fawzi Zayadine)
		Because the Christian tribes of Iradata migrated from Karak in 1880 (apparently because of a lady called Nijmeh at-Tiwal), I thought it was appropriate to consider the sites of the Karak district on the Madaba Mosaic Map.

		The Arabic accounts give us general information about Salah al- Din's attack on Jerusalem, but they fail to identify the exact locations of some of his battles and other important information about the Latins in the city, as well as about Salah al-Din's contacts with the Arab-Christian community in Jerusalem.
		'Imad al- Din says that Egyptian and Syrian officers were appointed to collect the payments and to give the departing Latins receipts that were to be submitted at the gate before leaving the city.
		He compared Salah al-Din's forces to those that had fought the battles of Badr, the wars of al- Ridda, the battles of al-Qadisiyya and al-Yarmuk, and the battle of Khaybar, which entailed the expulsion of the Jews from the Arabian Peninsula.
