Petra, the ancient city carved into the rose-red cliffs of Jordan, is renowned for its grand monumental tombs, which were created by the Nabataeans between the 1st century BC and the 2nd century AD. These tombs, with their elaborate facades, reflect a blend of architectural influences and stand as a testament to the Nabataeans' wealth and artistry, gained through their control of the incense trade routes. The most famous of these is the Treasury, known locally as Al-Khazneh, but there are over 600 such tombs, each with its own story and significance, echoing the accomplishments and status of those entombed within.
