City of Petra - New 7 Wonders of the World

My sister-in-law forwarded this amazing clip about the City of Petra once thought to be legendary like Atlantis. I was in awe as I studied the detailed carvings creating this city carved out of, or into, the canyon walls. It is mind boggling to think of the years it took to finish this amazing work. No wonder it is billed as one of the "New 7 Wonders of the World"
The stone work and colors of the carved rock are breath-taking. How can something this big and this beautiful remain hidden from the world for so long?

There are so many fascinating things in this world. I wonder what will be found in the next twenty years.

Have a wonderful weekend.
