At the First Baptist Church of Dothan, Alabama, our Sunday School teacher was a top surgeon. One day he invited the class to his home to view his slides of the Holy Land when he visited.
He turned out to be an excellent photographer. Of all the places he visited, Petra was by far the most fascinating. It would only be entered by very narrow path in the wall of stone. Every house public building etc. had been carved from sheer rock. An extraordinary place.
Spectacular 2,000-year-old Hellenistic-style wall paintings have been revealed at the world heritage site of Petra through the expertise of British conservation specialists. The paintings, in a cave complex, had been obscured by centuries of black soot, smoke and greasy substances, as well as graffiti.
Those are stunning, Thank You for posting them!
