Archaeologists Discovered a Sealed Room in Petra — What They Found Inside Is Horrifying In August 2024, archaeologists opened a hidden chamber beneath the forecourt of Petra's famous Treasury and found at least 12 Nabataean men, women and children still lying exactly where they were buried about 2,000 years ago. In this video, you'll follow the whole story, from the Bedouin legend of a pharaoh's gold to the radar scans that finally won permission to dig. You'll see why an untouched burial like this is so rare in Petra, what the famous Holy Grail lookalike cup really is, and why flood moisture and mold now threaten the remains.
