The ruins at Petra are justifiably famous worldwide and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Petra was the capital of the Nabatean Kingdom, which flourished from the third century B.C. until its incorporation into the Roman Empire in A.D. 106. The photo shows one of Petra's most elaborate buildings, the "Treasury" (Al-Khazneh), which was carved into the red-hued cliff face in the 2nd century B.C. In actuality, the structure was likely the mausoleum of a Nabatean king.
