In this video I continue to discuss the ancient city of Petra and what I uncovered on the subterranean level under the Treasury. The Treasury is the most iconic rock hewn structure in Petra. It is located at the final twist of the winding narrow gorge of the Siq. The paths walked by tourists today are called wadis, which are dried up floodways and river beds. It’s obvious that the Siq, the plaza in front of the Treasury and the outer Siq are covered with flood runoffs. This sediment layer must be substantial because it partially as well as completely covers up the doorways of some caves at the outer Siq. The original ground and path could be several meters lower. What might be buried underneath remains a mystery.
When you see the Treasury, it appears on ground level. You can walk right up to it. But this is not always the case; since the Treasury and its plaza looked very different over 2,000 years ago. Originally the Treasury was much higher up and looked even more formidable. There actually is an entire hidden level submerged below centuries of sediments. What could be hiding there for all these years? Let’s take a look.
