This recent excavation at Petra has unearthed a large tomb near the famous Khazneh. With 12 bodies and various grave goods, it could illuminate Nabataean life and death.
Josh Gates noted that finding this tomb is like discovering the 'holy grail' of Petra archaeology. It promises to provide insights into the ancient Nabataeans and their civilization.
Dr. Lucy Wadeson expressed skepticism about the media hype surrounding the tomb, emphasizing that although the tomb's location is significant, there is already much known about Nabataean burial rituals.
The excavation of the tomb is considered by some archaeologists to be the most significant finding at Petra, potentially reshaping our understanding of the Nabataean people and their societal intricacies.
