      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

    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.

    Thank you for showing more of the city than just the Treasury. I'm tired of people saying "this is Petra!" with a shot of that building as if it's the only part of the whole place worth looking at. The Treasury is awesome, but it shouldn't be considered the only wonder involved in the making of such a complicated place where such truly inspired designs for water storage and so many different types of construction are featured. There is a lot of genius going on in this place, some truly impressive accomplishments, and people always boil it down to the one structure, so again, thank you for showing how much more there is there. My brother got to go to Petra when he was in Jordan briefly in the Navy, and I'm still mad that he got to see it and I didn't LOL

    Been there. There isnt anything inside but I suspect there's something more to that city. Petra is hige and only a small portion has been excavated. It was a wonderful trip. There's more to it than the Treasury though. There are Bedouins that watch over the valley on top of the cliffs.

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
