失落的城市(The Lost City)
雕刻在红色砂岩、佩特拉和他的宝石埃德·迪尔或“修道院”的悬崖上,唤起了印第安纳·琼斯值得的冒险。这座古老的城市隐藏在约旦沙漠的中心,在公元前2世纪是纳巴特王国的首都,并作为一个重要的香料贸易中心蓬勃发展,连接了中国、埃及、希腊和印度等遥远的地区。在被遗弃了大约500年后,它于1812年被重新发现,获得了“失落之城”的绰号。

Carving on the cliffs of red sandstone, Petra, and his gemstone Ed Dill or "Monastery", it evokes the adventure worth it for Indiana Jones. This ancient city is hidden in the center of the Jordan Desert and was the capital of the Nabat Kingdom in the 2nd century BC. It flourished as an important spice trading center, connecting distant regions such as China, Egypt, Greece, and India. After being abandoned for about 500 years, it was rediscovered in 1812 and earned the nickname "The Lost City".
