Paragraph Petra, rock-hard city

Petra has been named as one of the new seven wonders, its majestically and unbelievable contructions can astonish the most skeptical minds. Only by thinking the city was carved out of rock and stone about two thousand years ago is compleatly mind-blowing. The city of Petra can be found in Jordan, a country of near-east Asia. Was rediscovered by a young swiss archeologist named [|Johann Burckhardt] at the beggining of the XIX Century. The city was lost due to political changes in the country and with those changes, also commerce routes did. The city fell silently, slowly losing population, until it was forgotten by the world. It was a great stroke of luck for the whole humanity to rediscover this city. Many things can be learned from the ways it was constructed and from the organization of the buildings. After all, if the people of Petra were considered the most civilized of their time, they sure have something to teach us.
