Il sito archeologico di Petra

Petra fu rivelata al mondo moderno nel 1812 da Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, un viaggiatore svizzero che, in abiti arabi, si faceva chiamare Cheikh Ibrahim e seguiva la strada che collegava Damasco all'Egitto passando per la Giordania.

Egli aveva sentito dire che nei pressi del villaggio di Wadi Musa si trovavano, in una sorta di fortezza naturale, delle vestigia straordinarie.

La regione apparteneva allora all'Impero ottomano e gli stranieri curiosi di antichità - che erano ritenute "opera degli Infedeli" - erano considerati con grande diffidenza, anche per le tensioni politiche e religiose dell'epoca.
