Obelisk tomb and Triclinium, Petra, Jordan
Obelisk tomb, 1st century AD in Bab as-Siq and Triclinium, 25-75 AD, Petra, Ma'an, Jordan. These 2 Nabatean monuments are carved into the sandstone cliff. The upper Obelisk Tomb is crowned with four elongated pyramids representing "nefesh", Nabatean signs commemorating the deceased. The lower gabled facade is the triclinium, a funerary dining hall with benches carved along 3 of its sides, where banquets were held in honour of a god or ancestor. Petra was the capital and royal city of the Nabateans, Arabic desert nomads. Picture by Manuel Cohen
