Discovery of Hidden Tomb in Petra
#1
Great new find in Jordan, using ground-penetrating radar.

Quote:Now, archaeologists have answers to their longstanding hunch: An excavation has revealed an untouched tomb in Petra’s famed Treasury structure, containing 12 human skeletons and a wide collection of grave offerings, discovered just opposite of the initial find from 2003.

Quote:Researchers are working to more specifically date the skeletal remains, Dr. Bates said, which broadly date between 400 B.C. and A.D. 106 — “right in the thick of the Nabatean civilization years,” he said.
