The Road To The Treasury: Photos

Hey, Indy, I hate Nazis too!

Carved tombs.

The Djinn Blocks.  The upper level has

the pyramids (different than Egypt), 

while the lower level is the banquet hall.

If they served French mustard at the

diners these would be known as

the Dijon Blocks, but they missed 

their marketing opportunity.

Tomb caves.

The start of The Siq, aka the Slot Canyon.

Beautiful coloring to the stone.  The 

coloring is known as "Rose Red"

A nice place for a niche.

Osama makes a point.  (His last name

is Alsmadi so please chill out.)  And,

he'd bin born long before we

heard of the other Osama.

Mary and Neil.  Yes, it was

cold enough they had to

dress like penguins.

The aqueduct was covered in a pipe,

so the Nabataeans in Petra

could get water without

an army at siege knowing.

An idea of the

height of the Siq.

At points it got quite narrow. . .

Making defense easier.

This cracking cliff is now

being shored up by wires.

Didn't save the Old Man

In The Mountain (NH), 

not sure how long this will work.

For some stone carvers, it

was a niche business to have.

Not sure why the sandstone

is black in parts, but sure

there is a logical explanation.

I'm just not going to search for it.

They even carved steps

to this tomb.

Man.

Camel feet.  The two carvings

are next to each other.

The cliffs are really tall.
