Deep in the desert of Jordan lies the hidden city of Petra, one of
the greatest marvels of the ancient world. Carved from rose-red
rock, Petra's monuments, dwellings and temples were for centuries
the centre of a splendid civilization. Later the city fell into
ruin and its location was lost, until the Swiss explorer Johann
Burckhardt rediscovered it in 1812. Petra's mysterious beauty and
dramatic story have long captivated the imaginations of historians
and art lovers. Excavations by the authors Christian Auge and
Jean-Marie Dentzer provide new information about this unique city.
