The wonderful wonders

PETRA

History cannot be hidden,

Nor can be stolen.

Nor can be deleted.

Nor can be destroyed.

It is proven

By this archeological city.

Which is itself

The marvel and pride of history.

Otherwise known as rose city

It's constructed greatly

It is worth to be admired.

Established as early as 312 B.C.

Its the capital city of nabotaeans.

Unknown until 1812,

'a rose red city half as old as time'

As quoted in a famous prize winning poem on it.

It was huge, important

Consisting a sanctuary,

Petra, identified with sela

Biblically assigned to horites.

Also referred as "the cleft in the rock".

Its among the 28 places,

To be visited, before death.

Designated as world heritage site,

I was amazed and thrilled.

'If I ever had a life before'

'I wish I was a resident'

'Of this wonderful city'I thought.

After watching the street view.

This wonder is a wonder.

Of history, archeology and geography.

Must be visited.

Cause its meant to be admired.
