PETRA
PETRA Petra = Stone in Greek (πέτρα) and in Arabic (Al-Batrā) Capital city of the Nabataeans founded in 312 BC Historical and archeological city in the Jordanian governorate of Ma an Controlled the main commercial routes Famous for rock-cut architecture and the water conduit system UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, described as one of the most precious cultural properties of man s cultural heritage
JOHN WILLIAM BURGON: PETRA It seems no work of Man's creative hand, by labour wrought as wavering fancy planned; But from the rock as if by magic grown, eternal, silent, beautiful, alone! Not virgin-white like that old Doric shrine, where erst Athena held her rites divine; But rose-red as if the blush of dawn, that first beheld them were not yet withdrawn; The hues of youth upon a brow of woe, which Man deemed old two thousand years ago, match me such marvel save in Eastern clime, a rose-red city half as old as time. Not saintly-grey, like many a minster fane, that crowns the hill and consecrates the plain; 1845
