The faces of the sandbox of the ancient city of Petra (one of the new seven wonders of the world) have long been in the archeological light. They have even spent time in Hollywood The spotlight as a place for several scenes in the movie Indiana Jones and the last crusadeS But in his latest external screen, there is no insult to the emblematic professor of Harrison Ford and were the place of a very true discovery.

Discovery Channel’s The popular show “Expedition Unknown” was on the spot to document the discovery of 12 human skeletons and artifacts dating back to at least 2000 years, which were all hidden for a long time under the famous Hazne (or “Ministry of Finance”) in Petra. The colossal find was carried out by a team led by archaeologist Pierce Paul Creasman.

The find is that if he is real, Indiana Jones will surely be proud.

“This is an extremely rare discovery,” said Josh Gates, hosting Detection channelprogram as per CnnS “In the two centuries, Petra was investigated by archaeologists, nothing like this was discovered before.

Creasman, CEO of the American Center for Research, uses a radar to penetrate ground penetration to see first if it is possible that additional tombs are located on the site. The data collected, combined to data collected from areas where the tombs were found in the past, and the Jordan government approves excavations under the world -famous site.

The team was beyond satisfied to see the actual tomb to materialize and truly shocked by the fact that it is full of remains and artifacts – many of the tombs in the ancient city have been found empty, chosen pure long ago.

Along with the 12 sets of skeletal remains of the bones from which they had mildew, thanks to the porous sandstone, allowing moisture in the area of the predisposition of floods-the Ekipa found a mixture of bronze, iron and ceramic artifacts. This included a ceramic cup stowed in the arms of one of the deceased, ironically reminiscent of the Holy Grail depicted in The last crusadeS “It really was this great moment,” said Gates, “From the story imitating art.”

The Ministry of Finance is thought to be located near the main entrance to the city, is at least 2000 years old. It is a striking mausoleum carved into the rocks of the sandboxes, which have long attracted tourists, but acquaintance with this iconic monument has been difficult due to the lack of finds in the tombs.

“We were hoping to find something that could tell us more about the ancient people and a place,” Creasman said. For example, Gates believes that people buried in the newly opened tomb show must have been of very high status due to the main real estate used for the place of the funeral. “Human remains,” Creizman continued, “can be a truly valuable tool in this regard. Burials in this tomb are articulated so that the bones have not been destroyed around and move, so this is extremely rare.”

To deepen in the remains and artifacts found in the tomb can open additional information about Hazne, Petra and the life of the Nabaisi who once inhabited the area. “I think to learn who they are,” said Gates, “will really help unlock some of the treasury history.”
