Urn tomb, Royal tombs, Petra, Jordan

Urn tomb, 1st century AD, Petra, Ma'an, Jordan. This Royal tomb was carved by the Nabateans in the face of Jabal al-Khubtha, the mountain overlooking Petra on the East. The Urn tomb was probably built c. 70 AD for King Malichos II and was converted to a Christan church in 446-7 AD. It is also known as 'The Court' as it was used as a courthouse in Roman times. Petra was the capital and royal city of the Nabateans, Arabic desert nomads. Picture by Manuel Cohen
