Hidden tomb discovered under Petra laid undisturbed for 2,000 years
British archaeologists have discovered a secret tomb below the city of Petra, believed to have lain undisturbed for 2,000 years.
Researchers from the University of St Andrews were given access to explore the Treasury, a World Heritage site that featured in the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
In the film, the impressive structure serves as the cinematic resting place of the Holy Grail, but the true purpose of the Treasury remains a mystery.
In what has been described as a “momentous achievement,” the team found a long-buried tomb containing the remains of 12 ancient skeletons – and even a chalice resembling the Holy Grail featured in film, starring Harrison Ford.
