To travel the world, I especially want to visit Jordan and the ancient city of Petra to visti my namesake picture, the temple of Al-Kazneh.
Al-Khazneh (Arabic: الخزنة; "The Treasury") is one of the most elaborate temples in Petra, a city of the Nabatean Kingdom inhabited by the Arabs in ancient times. As with most of the other buildings in this ancient town, including the Monastery (Arabic: Ad Deir), this structure was carved out of a sandstone rock face on the side of a mountain. It wsa built in the first century AD.
The structure is believed to have been the mausoleum of the Nabatean King Aretas IV in the 1st century AD. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in both Jordan and the region. It became known as "Al-Khazneh", or The Treasury, in the early 19th century by the area's Bedouins as they had believed it contained treasures.
It is also famously known for a movie scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Lastly, we know what you are thinking, what do hamsters and the temple of Al-Kazneh have in common? Great question! We haven't the slightest idea, but it sounded like a good idea at the time......
