D2 Petra piece (didn’t think through of the title) by Kevin D-Raganit!

Petra is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. If you are one who love history and historical buildings, this is a must visit venue. You will understand why it is called Rose Red City.

The entrance to the city of Petra through a deep gorge - the Siq (shaft) - here depicted in the style of an oil painting. Looks familiar - but then we've seen Indiana Jones galloping through here! Carry on walking and you reach the rock-hewn buildings that make up this anazing place. It was the ancient capital of the Nabataeans who settled here in about the C4th BCE. The buildings are carved out of the rock face of this red sandstone giving it the name of 'The Rose Gold City or Red Rose City.

Petra is a small rural village in the center of Mallorca, surrounded by agricultural terrain.

Dik-diks are small antelopes who are not gonna put up with anyone's bullshit. No, not even yours, George. Stop it. Just stop it. Now.

Emerging from the deep canyon called the Siq into the ancient city of Petra, we are suddenly confronted by this amazing building called The Treasury carved out of the red sandsone. 40m high and decorated with Corinthian columns, its actual purpose is unknown though the discovery of a graveyard suggests it might well have been a temple. This image has been finished as a coloured pencil sketch.

ROCK BOTTOM POEM: Amidst shadows' shroud, where hope seems lost, At rock bottom's brink, we bear the cost. Embracing anguish, with valor held tight, Tasting tears of sorrow, through darkest night. Stripped of shields, vulnerabilities laid bare, Yet within the darkness, resilience flares. A weave of life's encounters, intertwined, Frequency and fervor, soul's strength bind.

The first sight visitors see upon emerging from the 1.5 kilometer-long Siq is the Treasury (Arabic: al-Khazneh), the most magnificent of Petra's sights. The Treasury is carved out of solid rock and stand The Treasury was probably constructed in the 1st century BC. As its design has no precedent in Petra, it is thought that it was carved by Near-Eastern Hellenistic architects. The purpose of the Treasury remains something of a mystery. One thing that is fairly certain, however, is that it was not a treasury. In reality, the Treasury is generally believed to be a temple or a royal tomb, but neither conclusion is certain.

Jordan - The way to Petra

Treasury. Petra. Jordan. *World Heritage Site* Petra is an archaeological site in the Arabah, Ma'an Governorate, Jordan, lying on the slope of Mount Hor[1] in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. It is renowned for its rock cut architecture. Petra is also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The Nabataeans constructed it as their capital city around 100 BCE. The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced to the West by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt.
