Tombs in the Street of Facades, 1st Century B.C.-1st Century A.D., carved stone

Whole artwork view. Tombs in the Street of Facades in the wall of the first part of the Outer Siq; the Siq, literally ‘the Shaft‘, is the main entrance to the ancient city of Petra in southern Jordan; the narrow gorge winds its way approximately 1. 2 kilometres and ends at Al Khazneh, Petra's most elaborate ruin; the photo represents Bab el S?q, the wide valley outside leading to the Siq, where more than 40 tombs among tombs and residences have been carved out in a style wich is very close to Assyrian architecture.
