      I can add the word "REVIEALED" to the list of words I wish UA-camrs would quite using. Using the words Lost, Secret, Hidden, Reveled is getting old. Just make a normal title. I love NatGeo but PLS, stop with the sensationalist titles. Love you guys tho.

      In ΠΕΤΡΑ the nomads probably lived in caves and ordered hellenic masons to build their public buildings or elaborate shops. In any case the naive scripts on rocks have nothing to do with these skilful builders...

      I'd love to go, but I imagine the crowds would ruin everything about it. Even just a few dozen people scattered around will destroy any chance of a "moment" for me. Dammit, I hate crowds, lol.

      When I was an undergrad in the 1980s, my archaeology professor had a research project there in 1989 and I got to go. We had high quality Hasselblad cameras and took something around 25 thousand photographs of a couple of the mausoleums that were then slowly stitched together in the Photoshop version of the day. Now, a single person with a laser scanner could do the job we did for three months in about two days, working slowly.

      God send special animal Camel 🐫 in Petra and Said this animal is a test for you.. people said this animal drinks lots of water and they cut 4 legs.God get angry and send strong winds and they all die in this strom.. Muslims believe this story because written in Quran

    Absolutely enthralling episode! The depth of exploration into Petra’s past, from its nomadic beginnings to its rise as a grand city, is beautifully narrated. Albert Lin's engaging storytelling and the visual spectacle of hidden cities and ancient artifacts make this a must-watch. The blend of history and modern technology in uncovering the mysteries of Petra is both educational and breathtaking. Well done to everyone involved in this phenomenal journey

      @RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist. Mount Aaron is definitively a spot to worship, especially the old scripture……. Locally’s easy way to connect is, when one asks for tea and exchange stories about Issah, Aaron and Moses…..traditionally they will connect local folklore with established facts 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • @blackwolf085
    @blackwolf085 11 місяців тому +6

    Some other documentaries went into the diverse culture at Petra, how it was a melting pot of different people from around the mediterranian. It also went into the carved buildings into the walls, that some if not all were tombs and they used architecture from the cultures of those who had died. So if it was a roman or greek that died, the architecture of the tomb would reflect that. Some of the tombs were also made for travelers that died in Petra. I'm surprised this documentary didn't cover that. It changes the perspective a bit. It's possible that the painted ceiling wasn't actually proof that Petra was lush with plants and animals, but that traders from greece or rome, which the painting was styled from, actually moved to and lived in Petra and they added the art.

    This is unbelievably beautiful and fascinating land. I wish that the people of this part of the world would stop fighting over who owns the "magic rocks" and allow their neighbours to live in peace. It would become a massive tourist destination, if visitors could feel secure and welcomed. Egypt is discovering the prosperity that comes with this.

      I arrived at Aqaba Jordan from Neweiba Egypt via ferry Oct September 30, 2021. Everyone had to take a COVID test in the ferry despite we all took a COVID test in Neweiba Egypt before departure. I accidentally took a ferry with 98% economic migrants 😅 but I got help from a young Egyptian with my luggage. There were about only 8 female passengers, I was the only American 😅.
      Once landed in Aqaba, the ferry crew treated me like a VIP 😅 maybe because of the long COVID lockdown, and to see actual tourist? Their English is very British 😊 after some research, only to learn that Jordanian king was educated in UK and the queen is Palestinians.
      The previous queen Noor is half American

    I spent 6hrs walking arnd, there's a wifi cafe down the track, a mini Ampitheatre like the Roman colosseum, and lotsa caves u can walk into and see colorful pictures on the walls. Dont be tempted to take the horse up or down, they look very unstable when stopping on the rocks, especially with lotsa people walking up and down, NJOY the walk. There's a staircase if ur fit enuf to the left of the front of the main Petra building. As with lotsa Egyptian tombs, these rooms are all bare, the entrances are the main attraction. I'd recommend 2 days if you stay locally, time enuf to really take ur time and walk arnd into all caves and the distant surrounding caves on all the different Petra hills. On the way down the initial hill on a tourist trip you're told it was carved from water/flooding, and there are lotsa little caves on the way down...really worthwhile, and not too many over selling vendors like other places........there is a cafe rest stop as previously mentioned with wifi....go bak there for lunch, rest and reset, go exploring again. NJOY

The Temple is really really huge with 216 feet high Gopurams and completely made out of Granite one of the hardest stones to carve and till date it's a Mystery how and where they retrieved Granite as there's no sign of any granite quary in and around the radius of 300kms around the temple! And the Temple never casts a Shadow❤! It's a True wonder and a UNESCO monument ❤
