Every structure at Petra, in Jordan, was carved out of the solid rock of the cliffs. Every perfect column. All the intricate details, all of the complex, symmetrical geometry, carved without modern tools or measuring devices, over 2000 years ago. Petra is contained within a valley and its side canyons. In the center of the valley are the remains of a Roman ruin, built by stacking rocks, that pales in comparison.
