The Treasury, Petra, Jordan. Petra was the capital of the Nabataean kingdom from 312 BC until it was absorbed into the Roman Empire in 106 AD. The impressive rock-cut tomb facade of the "Treasury" (Al-Khazneh) is the city's most famous site. This 2000 year old Nabataean masterpiece is heavily influenced by Hellenistic temple design.
