Summary
[edit]DescriptionObelisk Tomb & Bab As-Siq Triclinium (12294013266).jpg |
The Obelisk Tomb is a little bit further down, and is a foretaste of what is to come. It is not sheltered from the wind and rain in any way and is badly eroded. The top half is a tomb, supposedly for four people (one for each obelisk!), although no remains of any kind have been found. The lower half is a triclinium, or "dining room" for the family making a formal visit to the tomb. There are stone benches inside. The Nabateans were masters of water engineering and they completely understood that it was just as bad to have too much water as not to have enough! Petra is right at the bottom of a huge bowl in the hills; when you look up from the gate towards Wadi Mousa you can see that there are hills all around you. Whenever it rains all the water runs down all the little valleys, and ends up down in the site of Petra. This was one reason why the city was built here, but the water has to be controlled [jordanjubilee.com] |
