Petra

Amy Hilgers is standing front of a familiar site made famous by the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The building is the first thing seen as a person emerges from the mile and a half Siq, but contains no machines for cuting off heads or invisibile bridges like Indy (Harrison Ford) crossed to achieve the Holy Grail. Nonetheless it is a magnificent structure craved from the mountain. Petra is within the current kingdom of Jordan a land rich in biblical history, and is found at the end of the Dead Sea on the Jordian side. Petra itself is formerly the home of the Nabeteans of the New Testament times and the land of Edom of Old Testament times spoken about in the book of the prophet Obadiah.
