Today, I will take you to one of the lesser-known travel destinations of lost civilizations in the world—Petra Ancient City in Jordan. All the buildings in this ancient city were carved out of rose-colored rocks, hence it is also known as the 'Rose City'🌹.
The history of Petra Ancient City can be traced back to around 400 BC, when the Nabateans established a prosperous city here. In the 1st century BC, the Romans occupied Petra, and used it as an important commercial center and military fortress. During the Roman rule, Petra reached its peak, with many grand buildings such as temples, theaters, bathhouses, and tombs being built in the city.
However, the prosperity of Petra did not last long. In the 7th century AD, Petra was conquered by the Arabs and gradually declined. In the following centuries, Petra was abandoned, the city was buried by sand and dust, and disappeared from people's sight. It wasn't until 1812 that a Swiss explorer rediscovered Petra Ancient City, and this lost city was known to people again.
There are also many legends about Petra Ancient City. It is said that the city was established by a man named 'Ali Baba', who hid a lot of treasures💎 here. In addition, there is a legend that Petra is the place where Moses turned stones into gold after leaving Egypt.
