      Those tombs and monuments were built for the absolute elite of the era while their populations were slaving off in the fields. The money used to do so probably represented an obscenely high percentage of the local GDP.

    How great is Petra. The Nabataean Kingdom is one of the oldest Arab kingdoms that extended in the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula and the south of the Levant to the Mediterranean coast, and trade routes flourished in it across the Arabian Peninsula. And a side note, King Aretas is the Greek pronunciation for Haritha, and my brother's name is Haritha

    The Nabataeans and their sacred city of Petra was the subject of my 'Archaeology of the Bible' class term paper in my third year at University (1991), so it holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for the video tour of this fascinating ancient city, Manuel. ☺

    Thank you Manuel. From here I will have to do some of my own research. I have a background in history but I’ve never heard of the Nabateans. I have seen pictures of Petra and the main building but that was it. Thank you for a great documentary

      Yes they discovered another level. But if you stand in front of the Treasury and look inside there is not much to see. Basically a shallow empty space. But standing in front you can look down and see the newly discovered level that is still being excavated. I was there in November 2018.

    If you admire this , then you must visit Kailash Temple in Aurangabad, India . The whole temple is carved out of a rock from top to bottom. It’s a jaw dropping engineering marvel , even to this date , and it is more than 1000 years old.

    I had the good fortune to visit Petra many years ago. If you find yourself in Israel or Jordan it's a must see place. Don't go in the summer though; it's brutally hot. Petra was an important caravan stop on trade routes across the region and died out because over time those routes changed leaving Petra without a reason for being
