Just look at the detail that remains on a Petra building. Can't you just imagine what it looked like in ancient times? (The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients)

Here's Jim "on stage" at the Roman-style theatre in Petra. Nabataean engineers were brought to this city to create the theatre. The acoustics are so good that words spoken at a normal level can be heard in the top row. Can't you just imagine Jim telling a story here if you and he had lived during these ancient times? (The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients)

Our Petra tour guide points out one of the cave dwellings that he and his family actually lived in until he was about 10 years old. It's a great idea to employ a local guide at sites like this.

Petra dwellings and tombs built right into the rock. (The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients)

Jim and Randy in awe of their surroundings at Petra. Note the graceful road that sweeps through the city, and the cave dwellings carved into the mountain. (The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients)

Here's Randy on the steps leading to an ancient temple in Petra. (The Story of the World, Vol. I -The Ancients)
