Petra Monument

This is a picture of the Petra region of Jordan, a region which still remains a mystery to most people. In order to gain a better understanding of the region, scientists called upon Google Earth, among other resources. What they eventually uncovered, and what you see here, is some sort of monument. As it turns out, this monument dates to 4th Century BCE and had been completely overlooked by explorers in the region until Google Earth gave them a bird’s eye view.
