Petra, which means "rock" in Greek, was an ancient, powerful trading city. It's buildings were carved out of Petra's red rocks, including the Treasury, Petra's star. The Treasury remains so cinematic that it was featured as the exterior for the climax of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" This clip, devoted to Petra's Treasury, is part of a free video presenting a 1995 trip to Israel and Petra, Jordan. The video includes Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, the Galilee, Golan Heights, Nazareth, Bethlehem, Masada & the Dead Sea. Jewish, Islamic, and Christian holy places are all presented. (The movie reflects a time of optimism regarding the peace process, and the viewer should approach it from the context of 1995.)
