In 1812, a traveler disguised himself as an Arab sheikh to sneak through a forbidden canyon in Jordan. What he found at the end of that narrow passage stunned the world — a 150-foot temple carved directly into a cliff face.
This was Petra.
Not built. Un-built.
A lost city created by the Nabataeans, masters of engineering who turned one of the driest deserts on Earth into a thriving oasis for 30,000 people using an advanced hidden water system.
They controlled the ancient trade of frankincense and myrrh and became wealthier than Rome. Then, almost mysteriously, the city was abandoned.
Why?
In this documentary, we uncover the architectural mystery, the hidden water network, the Silk Road monopoly, and the disaster that erased Petra from history.
And the most shocking part?
Only 15% of Petra has been excavated.
What is still buried under the sand?
