City of Petra, in Jordan one of the 7 New Wonders of the World


For 600 years thought that this city, in the middle of the desert of Jordan, was legendary like the Atlantis and Troy


The Swiss explorer that managed to find it had to travel through impressive paths as this, among mountains of stone.


Imagine its emotion when, upon arriving for the first time, saw this scene in the 19th century!


The Palace of Petra, a temple in Greek style (Hellenic), is also called "The Treasure" and has 42m. of height


Completely it was carved in calcareous rock.


But the palace is only one among the many magnificent constructions in Petra, all carved in calcareous rock.


Petra was constructed towards the 6th century BC. by the Nabatéens, during the Persian Empire.


The Nabateos were Bedouins that lived on the commerce of spices, like incense, myrrh and aromatic plants.


By the year 60 AD. Petra was conquered and enclosed to the Roman Empire.


Through the years, the wind has left its contribution, carving the most beautiful forms in the mountains of calcareous rock.


Petra was utilized for the final scene of the movies Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade


They pay attention to the details carved of the interiors.


The colors in the stones are natural.


It is that it colored geological composition of the sand is favorable for "paintings" natural as these.


Or these formations to remove the breath, found in the walls of some mountains.


The nabateos built in Petra a sophisticated hydraulic system with tunnels and tanks of water


This theater, in Greek-Roman style, had capacity for 4.000 spectators.


In the year 551 a second great earthquake destroyed almost all the city, and Petra never was inhabited.
