Extinct City Jordan Lower Siq Petra Wadi Musa

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the ancient city of Petra, located in Wadi Musa, Jordan. The image showcases the interior of a tomb within the lower Siq, a narrow gorge leading into this remarkable archaeological site. Dating back to 1920, when this photograph was taken, it offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural wonders of Petra. The tomb's interior is adorned with floor graves and loculi, creating an eerie yet mesmerizing atmosphere. These burial chambers were once used by the Nabateans, an ancient Arab civilization that thrived in Petra during its heyday. The intricate carvings on the walls and ceilings tell stories of lives lived long ago. Petra itself is often referred to as an "extinct city" as it was lost to history for centuries before being rediscovered by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812. Today, it stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Jordan's most iconic landmarks. As we gaze at this print from Liszt Collection, we can't help but marvel at the beauty and mystery preserved within these ancient tombs. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human heritage and ignites our curiosity about those who came before us in this extraordinary place called Petra.
