Description

Petra is a city carved out of the sandstone mountains surrounding a valley in Jordan. To get to it I had to walk down through a slotted canyon for perhaps a mile or more. In places I followed the road the Romans left and in others just rough sand stone. In places the canyon is 30+ feet wide and in others very narrow. Finally after a long hot long I came to a narrow opening that opens onto the valley and had my first site of this spectacular building carved into the mountain. How did they do it?
