The Stone City!

The rock face city of Petra Jordan is one of the most interesting sites in the world! This year marks the 200th anniversary of the rediscovery of the lost city. The Nabataeans carved this city out of pure rock more than 2,000 years ago. On either side to the entrant you'll encounter 80 meter sheer cliffs. The city was a hot spot for the trading of silk and spice in the ancient times. The city's sites are magnificent with vibrant red, white, and pink. The walls are not only beautiful in color they are also ginormous as you can see in this article . So what do you think of the stone city?

    I think that the city of Petra Jordan is really detailed and cool considering that the Nabaetaens carved it completely out of stone. I also think it's interesting because it was a lost city until, like you said, 200 years ago when it was rediscovered. I looked at the link that was in your post, and the building looked super cool because of the variety of colors and detail. It would be really cool to visit this city one day.
