            Petra - Wadi-Musa - Jordan

Cerca de 30.000 pessoas podem ter vivido em Petra durante o século I DC. É um equívoco pensar que Petra era uma cidade apenas para os mortos. Um grande terremoto em 363 DC destruiu pelo menos metade da cidade. Petra nunca se recuperou desta destruição.

Ruínas antigas de Petra, Jordânia:
Quando a antiga cidade de Petra atingiu o seu auge, há cerca de 2.000 anos, a maioria das suas estruturas foram esculpidas diretamente nas falésias de arenito das montanhas do sul da Jordânia. Usadas principalmente como tumbas ou templos, surpreendentemente, muitas dessas estruturas estão bem preservadas, incluindo a mais famosa: Al Khazneh, o tesouro de Petra, cuja imponente fachada emula a arquitetura grega e romana.
Separadas das falésias, as colunas que vemos na foto constituem o que resta das antigas ruas colunatas e templos. Além das incríveis estruturas esculpidas nas rochas e do imenso complexo de templos, Petra também possui um enorme anfiteatro escavado na encosta. Com tudo isso, não surpreende que o nome Petra venha da palavra latina “petrae”, que significa “rocha”.

As many as 30,000 people may have lived in Petra during the 1st century AD. It is a misconception that Petra was a city only for the dead. A large earthquake in AD 363 destroyed at least half of the city. Petra never recovered from this destruction. 

Ancient ruins of Petra, Jordan:
When the ancient city of Petra reached its peak about 2,000 years ago, most of its structures were carved directly into the sandstone cliffs of the mountains of southern Jordan. Mostly used as tombs or temples, surprisingly, many of these structures are well preserved, including the most famous: Al Khazneh, the treasure of Petra, whose imposing facade emulates Greek and Roman architecture.
Separated from the cliffs, the columns we see in the photo constitute what remains of the old colonnade streets and temples. In addition to the incredible structures carved in the rocks and the immense temple complex, Petra also has a huge amphitheater carved into the hillside. With all this, it is not surprising that the name Petra comes from the Latin word "petrae", which means "rock".
