      It's a strangely well-preserved structure for something we know nothing about. Usually when I hear that something is making archaeologists scratch their heads I think of something really old like Göbekli Tepe.

      They say it was the Nabataeans but does look Greek and Alexander did get around the known world.

      @augustus I wouldn't be surprised if a branch of people who originally Greek somehow got stranded in this area and then their civilization collapsed eventually

      @threalist @augustus Only because the Nabataeans were conquered by Alexander. So if it was there they must have built it right? But they could have inherited it. Troy was part of the Hittite Empire that controlled Syria before the Nabataeans. They never made it as far as Petra but you never know.

      @vriska I believe that the Treasury of Petra was constructed for the Indiana Jones film and all supposed history behind the façade was invented post-facto and you can't convince me otherwise
