Petra: The Ancient Rose City Of Jordan: A Virtual Guide - Paperback

by Brien Foerster (Author)

The ancient Jordanian site of Petra is world famous, yet, not well understood. Believed by many academics to have been the creation of a nomadic Arabian people around 300 to 100 BC, it is clear that this is not the case. Petra is a massive series of edifices and chambers cut into very hard sandstone bedrock, and appears to have been shaped using lost ancient high technology. Thus, the history of this ancient place must be rewritten, and has been done in this book.
