EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1995, showcases The Treasury, or Al Khazneh, in Petra, Jordan, an ancient city renowned for its intricate sandstone architecture. The image captures the awe-inspiring moment as a horse and rider make their way through the narrow gap of the Petra ravine, or Siq, towards the iconic monument. The sunlight filters through the towering cliffs, casting an ethereal glow on the intricately carved pillars and columns of the Treasury's façade. The Nabataean Kingdom, which thrived from the 4th century BC to the 2nd century AD, is known for its mastery of water harvesting and trade, particularly in frankincense and myrrh. The Treasury, believed to have been used as a tomb, is one of the most famous structures of this ancient civilization. Its elaborate carvings and ornate decorations are a testament to the artistic and architectural prowess of the Nabataeans. The arrival of the horse and rider adds a sense of scale and adventure to the scene, as if transporting viewers back in time to witness the ancient city's grandeur firsthand. The image evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity, inviting us to explore the rich history and culture of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
