Petra is a commerce city in the desert of the south in Jordan. By the key point of the trade way connected with the Silk Road, it prospered in trade with India or the Arabian Peninsula. There was also a way (= chic) which escapes from the salmon eye of Hazama of a certain rock face no less than 100m. Although this is the shrine or grave called "the treasure warehouse of FARAO", an inside is empty now. All of a pillar or decoration are relief.
