Petra Rediscovered: The Lost City of the Nabataean Kingdom [Hardcover] Markoe,

Description: For more than four centuries the ancient kingdom of Petra, with its magnificent temples and rock-cut tombs, flourished at the intersection of two major trade routes running from Syria to the Red Sea and from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean. The Romans absorbed Petra into their empire in 106 a.d., and in 363 a.d. an earthquake left the city in ruins, forgotten in the West until European explorers rediscovered it in the 19th century. Today-largely as a result of the astonishing finds from ongoing archaeological excavations-this beautiful site has become one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Middle East. Petra Rediscovered brings us the discoveries from those excavations, in a spectacular volume that accompanies a major traveling exhibition on the history and art of this evocative ancient city.Vibrantly illustrated with on-site photography-most newly shot for this book-Petra Re…condition info: Has a sturdy binding with some shelf wear. May have light markings on pages.
