Maheshwari Indian Temple

Tall marble staircases, ornate pillars, and a golden-brass statue all welcome worshippers and travelers to the Maheshwari Mandir, which roughly translates to "Temple of the Great One."

Indian temples come in a variety of styles, but the inner structures are almost always the same. There are two main sections, an inner chamber that houses the deity called the garba griha, and an outer worshipping space called the mandala. Worship typically takes place in the form of a Puja, during which various food items are offered to the deity in a large sacrificial fire.

This map can also be used as a general fantasy temple if you wish to do so.

This map will also be included as part in my 5e Devabhumi setting book, which will be released this year! Devabhumi is an Ancient India-inspired campaign setting, which presents an alternate world that brings the epics and stories of this rich culture to life.

Whenever I've contemplated the recent Canadian MAID policies, my mind has inevitably wandered to Robert W. Chambers' justly revered weird tale "The Repairer of Reputations" and the Government Lethal Chambers that are such a key thematic element therein. I am not going to imply that the Canadian health services have fallen under the sway of the Yellow Sign (although...), but I've always noticed in reading and listening to other moderns' response to the story that there's important period context that gets largely missed. This is understandable - most people haven't read nearly as many fin-de-siècle and Edwardian era 'Scientific Romances' as I have, for the good reason that most of them are really quite bad.

But without historical context, it's easy to miss exactly what the alternate future New York City that the story may or may not be set in represents. It's a whole collection of relatively common Progressive era tropes representing peoples' hopes and fears about the immediate future, arranged in an optimistic (even Utopian) key. The obsession with civic beautification, the gleaming fleets of battleships that are almost an extension of the "good architecture [that] was [everywhere] replacing bad," the optimistic hope that race problems could be settled for all times and peaceably without any then-unseemly 'mixing' (Indian scouts! an "independent negro state of Suanee"! checking of immigration!), a militarism that's as much about pomp & love of regimentation as about actual wars, the "colossal Congress of Religions" that "laid [bigotry and intolerance] in their graves" and "began to draw warring sects together", a love of orderly centralization... This is all the sort of stuff that moderate, bien-pensant Progressives and Fabians of Chambers' day would have cheered on. Even the "war with Germany," involving an unlikely occupation of the Virginia coast, is an optimistic take on the Invasion Story subgenre that was becoming common at the time (the scars it left "had been forgotten in the joy over repeated naval victories, and the subsequent ridiculous plight of General Von Gartenlaube's forces in the State of New Jersey.") It's all of a piece, an expression of boundless Columbian Exposition optimism and faith in Reason and Progress to bring forth an Earthly Paradise.

And so are the Lethal Chambers. They are reasonable, and graceful, and beautiful, solutions to the problem of hopelessness. Reasonably, why should a person not have a right "to end an existence which may have become intolerable to him, through physical suffering or mental despair"? Too, "the community will be benefited by the removal of such people from their midst." And the Chamber is beautiful, placed in a verdant park, decorated with Grecian columns and marble statues, designed to make one's exit from this world as rationally elegant as possible. It's all done discreetly, in the best possible taste.

This is why the story is given this whole setup, why it begins with what seems today to be a very disorienting bit of archeofuturistic world-building. In the context of this world of rational hopes rationally filled, not only is Castaigne's descent into madness more shockingly out of place, but it also represents an irruption into that world of something else, something old and strange and powerful. There is a reason that Wilde & Castaigne invoke the trappings of the archaic medievalism that the Progressive world sought to do away with forever, and a reason why Wilde deals (or claims to deal) in blackmail and conspiracy. All the flotsam and jetsam that, it was hoped, could be swept away like the old slums, bob inevitably to the surface.

As something of a reactionary, I'm inclined to take a political reading of this - "don't immanentize the eschaton!" as the slogan goes. But, like all really good fiction, "The Repairer of Reputations" is about something deeper than politics. I leave further interpretation as an exercise to the reader.

Admission to many museums in the UK are free, so once and a while we drop in to get to see local art. Here are some photos of art with themes of colonization, injustice, and issues of our time at Tate Liverpool.

This photo is of a Palestinian woman in what’s left of her home during the Sabra Camp massacre in 1982. It is by Don McCullin, a British photographer who covered the Lebanese Civil War during his visits in 1976 and 1982. Palestinian refugees fled to Lebanon after the establishment of Israel in 1948 in what was once a part of Palestine. The war in Lebanon led to massacres of Muslim neighborhoods including Palestinians in the Sabra refugee camp.

The late Zarina Hashmi was an Indian-American artist born in India, whose family was displaced by the 1947 partition of India after British colonial rule. While her sister Rani moved to Pakistan, Zarina eventually traveled the world, staying in touch with her sister everywhere she went. “Letters from Home” use these letters from Rani as a basis for the art, as they are written in Urdu and printed along with depictions of blue prints and maps of the places Zarina had lived through the years.

Kader Attia was born in France to Algerian parents, and later grew up in Algeria. Believe it or not, this artwork is made out of food. Specifically, couscous, a staple in Algeria as well as the rest of North Africa. Near the exhibit is a photo of Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, who applied modernist architecture during the French colonial period in Algeria near the mid 1900s. In this artwork Attia seems to shape buildings in the modernist style, depicting the ancient hilltop city of Ghardaia in Algeria. The buildings are molded in couscous, and cracks and crumbling areas in the buildings could be seen as weathering from both the city’s old age and French colonization.

Torkwase Dyson handcrafted these huge, black structures and placed them in a large dark space on the first floor of Tate Liverpool. Dyson’s abstract works “grapple with the ways in which space is perceived, imagined and negotiated particularly by black and brown bodies.” This installation, “Liquid a Place,” definitely displays this, with these huge statues of what seam like heavy slabs of the darkest marble. They definitely convey the weight of colonization for me, and the artist description of them echoing “the curve of a ship’s hull” got me the most. Tate Liverpool sits in what was once one of Europe’s busiest ports serving the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

Lubaina Himid was one of the pioneers of the UK’s Black Art movement in the 1980s. “Carrot Piece” shows a white figure hovering a carrot over a Black woman carrying her own plentiful batch of food and items. The white figure is on a unicycle and wears light make up, conveying ridiculousness or crude entertainment, as if a clown. These are cut-out wooden paintings that are life-sized and was made for, as Himid wrote in her description, “…the moment when you slowly realise that you have learned something quite useful about yourself which proves to be a whole lot better than anything ever offered to you for free.”

Kerry James Marshall is known for his colorful paintings depicting Black people in dark shades. He counters “Western pictorial tradition” and brings forward Black figures in it. This work shows a Black figure wearing a British royal guard uniform, holding a sandwich board advertising a fish and chips restaurant named after a freedman, prominent writer, and British slavery abolitionist Olaudah Equiano. The irony of this art, is that it does not show a place in England. It is a scene in Arizona, where a “London Bridge” was made to attract American tourism.

Scarcity of Thieves- Part One

Pairing: The thief x OFC, Both characters are based off of Chilean folklore, Thief is named Pedro but this is not RPF

Summary: In the darkness of the night and depths of the homes of the wealthy, an old rogue turned thief slowly tempers off decades of boredom. While chasing the latest tiresome cache, the thief runs into a new treasure that finally perks his interest for the first time in a century. It’s just too bad she’s much more interested in dining than wining.  

Word Count: 3438

Warnings: lots of stealing, mention of Devil

Ratings: M

Author’s Note: The thief is named Pedro Urdemales, but this is not real person fiction. Pedro Urdemales is a fictional character in Latin American folklore that typifies the rogue, rascal, or trickster. I don’t write RPF. The OFC is also a creature from Chilean folklore, but you’ll learn more about her in the next chapter!

Part Two

It was getting too easy these days. The thief eyed each painting up and down as he waltzed through the marble ballroom of the oil tycoon’s estate. The tycoon had smiled and nodded with excitement when the thief asked for a tour earlier in the evening, expressing what a grand time the partygoers would have wandering and wondering at the rich man’s personal gallery. The oil man had a grand time of his own reciting the tales of his treasures. The thief rolled his eyes, in the old days people would be a little more closed off in showing off their collection. These days everyone loved to parade their possessions, they had no privacy and no idea for modesty…well to be honest, that last virtue the thief didn’t know how to adhere to either.

His own collection dwarfed the tycoon’s, not that there was anyone out there in the world that had seen his collection and could collaborate to his statement, but the thief took some pride in what he amassed. He dined with the marble ladies crafted from the renaissance men. His front doors were guarded by the gold statues of Incan crafters. Van Goghs, Rembrandts, and more paintings were hung on his estate’s walls, far away from the Nazi looters that stole them. Fine jewels glittered in display cases that once were displayed on the necks of old conquistadors. Whatever the thief’s eyes saw, the thief crafted a plan to take, the tycoons of today didn’t deserve to have these riches just as the crusaders of old didn’t need their riches as well. It was a lesson every fool had to learn.

Sliding into the shadows of an open balcony, the thief scanned the crowd in front of him. Maybe tonight he would take a finely crafted necklace off of the prudish wife of the governor. Or perhaps slip the large ring off the hand of the newest fiancé of the wealthy oil tycoon. Those were too simple though. He liked the sleek velvet tux of the man hovering over an uninterested woman. He observed the interesting neck tattoo on the guard near the rear door and thought about how it would look on him. What if he had that extremely gruff voice of the old captain near the bar, or maybe he could acquire the silver hair of the mistress? He sighed as he heard the shrill voice of drunken guests reach his reclusive spot.

It was all either easy picking or just too boring for him. He felt as if he should just go back to his original plan of grabbing the family jewels in the tycoon’s basement vault. They were better looking than any other jewel here and would be a great addition to his grand collection of gemstones. But he was missing a string of rubies for that collection, and now he knew that there was a necklace of rubies sitting in the tycoon’s office that would fill the opening nicely. The whole guest list knew about the rubies as everyone had gone on the grand tour from earlier in the evening. The tycoon had boasted to the whole room that they were collected from Indian royalty, he didn’t need them. The thief though, he needed those rubies, it was the life he lived after all, the life of a rogue wanderer.

He swirled his wine around in the tall flute and sipped it dry. Striding off the balcony and gliding through the ball of glistening gowns and dark tuxedos, he sidestepped the guards to one of the side doors of the hall that the tycoon had shown the tour groups. Closing the door quietly behind him, the thief silently stepped down the hall, past the different guard routes that dotted the estate and finally came upon the short hallway holding the tycoon’s office where he had showcased the rubies. The night had gone smoothly without a hitch until the thief turned the last corner to the short office hallway.

The sight before the thief gave him pause as he looked upon a woman in a floor length dress exiting the office. Her dress was adorn with long golden and glittering tassels that covered her completely and shaped her body with breathtaking curves. With each step the woman took down the hall, the golden strings shined out like a sparkling night sky. She shined and flashed like a gem in his collection as she graceful soared through the hall without making a sound. The thief watched as the glittering strings shifted like feathers about the woman with each step, letting him see through the sheer fabric the curve of her legs. The thief was completely entranced by her flow and ease that he almost forgot about the real gems inside the office.

Catching his held breath, the thief soundlessly stepped down the hall to the office door, finding it unlocked. He watched the woman slowly drift down the hall in all her luminous aurora and round the corner before he himself escaped into the office. The subtle click of the door opening was the only sound to be heard as the thief stole himself into the office with a silent lock to the door closing behind him. He paused as he scanned the room. His mind was reeling from the radiant soul in the hall. He wondered why the woman was in this room in the first place. She could be part of the tycoon’s family or maybe a friend. Or she could be just a drunken wanderer. On the other hand, her wandering could have purpose, and she could be a thief just as he. The thief reveled in the potential of meeting another denizen of the night. Finally, his mood was shifting to potentially enjoying himself.

To say the thief wasn’t enjoying his night was an understatement. He was bored. There was no challenge for him here or anywhere else. He had coaxed a gilded crown off of a king, the scepter from an ornate priest, the voice of a prestigious opera singer, the moves of an award-winning tango dancer, national paintings, prominent sculptures, a sweet laugh, the talent of a craftsman, and palate of a five-star chef. The last couple of months got him some local jewels, bottles of wine, and several headaches from dull conversations with bureaucrats. The “scoundrels” of this century, or brutos is what the thief really called them, were just too obtuse and dull, the thief considered himself to be the último sinvergüenza or verdadero embaucador left. The last scoundrel or true trickster was one of few old souls left in this new world. No brut of today’s world deserved the honor of scoundrel. The old world just had more class and dignity to it.

The thief shook the melancholy thoughts from his head as he side-stepped over creaky floorboards, avoiding delicate collectables, and circled around the large desk and felt for the release button under the left top drawer. The tycoon had been so excited to show his guest the “neat” trick he had crafted to hide his rubies away. This was too easy for the thief to even use one brain cell to outwit the tycoon. A small knob graced his finger, and with a press of the button the large artwork from across the room would softly clicked open and off the wall. At least that is what would happen if the artwork wasn’t already off from its locked position on the wall. The thief straightened his back as he took in the already opened painting. He wondered if the tycoon had forgotten to close the lock or maybe his midnight wanderer had sticky fingers. Either way, the thief let out an exacerbated sigh. Behind the painting was the same old lock and safe routine that collectors were so fond of using.

He held his palm over the lock and started to turn the knob when he stalled his attempt. The thief listened for the small simple click of a lock but found nothing to be heard. He stepped away from the safe and gently tugged at the handle, clearly seeing that the safe was not locked. Before him lay documents, a small bundle of foreign money, passports, and finally a medium sized black velvet box. The thief cautiously opened the box after waiting a beat to listen to any ominous footsteps. He had seen rubies many times before. He had stolen rubies just as many times. Here the thief laid his eyes on something he was not expecting.

Nine sparkling rubies and several tiny, scattered diamonds lay gazing up at the thief upon a cushioned velvet pillow. Just the loose rubies and diamonds though. The gold trim of the necklace that held the jewels was completely missing, as well as about half of the diamonds that were also fastened in the gold necklace. When the tycoon showed the necklace off, it was a full two layered gold necklace that formed around nine tear drop shaped rubies and was lined by small glittering diamonds. As the tycoon displayed the necklace, the crowd eyed the glistening stones as if they sang a song of lust and desire to them.

Honestly though, the thief had seen better.

Now, he was bewildered and quickly turned to intrigued.

The thief closed the box, tossed it back onto the shelf, closed both the safe and painting, and finally exited the office. He glanced back down the hall to where the mystery woman descended and made his escape after her.

She flowed through the corridors like a feather gliding through the air. She was swift just as the thief, maybe even better. But the thief had better eyes and knowledge of the estate. He was able to navigate with her pace while still being hidden from not only the guards’ searching eyes but also the vibrant and inquiring eyes of the wayfaring woman. The thief himself would normally let his eyes roam about the priceless collections of art but he found his own eyes were enamored by the curious woman. Her fingers grazed the gold trim frame of paintings as she glided through doorway to doorway, avoiding passing guards with her hushed steps.

She shone like una estrella but moved like un pajaro. She probably could outshine the stars and out fly the birds if she pleased so. The thief would be certainly pleased to watch.

He admired her as every golden tassel of her dress swayed to her elegant form and grace. She glowed under the shine of the lowly lit lights and twinkled in the darkened corridors. The thief swore her glow wasn’t just coming off of the dress but also off of the woman herself. He hair swayed from side to side as an alluring shine tried to persuade the thief to come closer and run his fingers through the locks. He held himself back though, trying hard not to let the woman become aware of his presence. For now, the thief delighted in soaking in her glow.

But as the thief matched his steps in time with the woman, his pace slowed as he watched the woman snatch up an opulent golden candlestick from a decorative side table, leaving just the candle behind. He slid into the shadows, engulfed in the darkness as his fellow thief took to her own corner of the darkness. As she tucked herself away from sight of the guards, the thief could still make her out as she continued to illuminate. Turning her back to the thief and any other potential watchers, the woman seemed to slouch a bit into herself. He guessed that she was finding a spot to hide the candlestick away in her dress, but then something gave him pause. He observed with rapt eyes that the woman seemed to glow even brighter. She had brilliance from the sparkles of her dress, to the shine of her hair, to the warmth of her skin, and finally, as the woman turned around, the rays coming from her eyes.

The candlestick was nowhere to be seen, but the woman surely was easier to see. Her steps were slower now, yet she was still just as elegant and nimble as before. She still eluded the guards of the estate as the thief kept up with the evening’s real splendor. He was certainly intrigued by the new distraction and was now becoming a bit passionate in following this merry light. The rubies from earlier were completely out of his mind as he and this wayward woman made their way to a secluded sitting room of the estate.

Quietly without a second of pause, the woman entered the room and closed the door behind her. The thief waited his own few seconds and entered as well when his ears didn’t pick up a sound from inside the room. Moving inside and closing the door behind him, he soundlessly stepped back into the shadows so as to not spook whatever activity the woman was up to next. Upon taking in the room of its plush chairs, and deep mahogany tables, the thief noticed the woman sitting in an open window at the far corner of the room. She faced away from him as he saw a moment of potential come into reach.

“I can’t decide if it’s the moon’s glow or if it’s just your own beauty that’s lighting this room up,” the thief calmly spoke as he stepped out of the shadow.

The woman jumped a little on her perch and swirled her head towards the finely dressed man. She looked surprised at the sudden company but steadied herself when she did a once over of the man before her. She still looked ready to spring away at any moment, even as the man held his hands up in a peaceful remorse for spooking her.

She gave him a timid smile, “It’s always me.”

“That’s so? They say the moon’s glow is actually the light of the sun reflecting off the moon’s surface.” The thief paused and lifted his eyebrow, “Perhaps that’s untrue though. Maybe it’s actually your light reflecting off of the moon?” He stepped towards a large royal looking chair in the room and slowly sat down.

“Perhaps,” she bit her lip as her eyes traveled the length of the man once again. His long jacket fit him nicely while the golden trim on it expressed his broad shoulders well. The thief didn’t match her examination with his own as she thought he would. He instead looked over the side table to his right at the variety of drinking trinkets.

“I didn’t think I would meet any other wandering guests tonight. Thought I would be alone to peruse the host’s gallery. I’m glad to see that I wasn’t the only one to think the night was the best time for a personal tour.” The thief twisted the glass top of a decanter as he spoke, noticing the woman’s glowing figure created small rainbows in the glass.

“Night is the best time for a great many things.” The woman softly sang out as she glanced out the window. She appeared almost whimsical as a midnight breeze blew her hair and the tassels of her dress. She looked back at the thief; half her body seemed to lean out the window as if she was at ease with this situation, but the thief could tell she would be able to bolt in a heartbeat.

The thief knew he needed to be gentle yet straight forward. Spending any extra time on pleasantries would only allow the woman a chance to take off. He didn’t want to scare away the only thing interesting to happen in the last decade. A rogue such as himself knew the right words to say, the right way to look, the right walk to give. He was cunning to so many, and a swindler to many more. They called him a ladrón, thief, for it; and maybe in some ways he was. They used to call him a rascal. Not any more though. A thief he was or what he had become, the greatest thief ever he would say. It bugged him at first, but no longer. Some people didn’t deserve what they perceived as theirs. He made sure of that on many occasions, but not at every opportunity. He was a man that would never steal from the devil, but he did win a bet against the old clod and now gets a “lifelong” supply of wine from the ex-angle. For the current situation, he just needed a sedative yet candid touch.

“Your magnetic glow isn’t the only thing I have a question about.” He looked up at the woman as he ran his fingertips down his mustache, “I can’t place where you stored that candlestick. That dress, as enticing as it is, can’t hide anything from the eyes.”

The woman considered the man who sat in front of her. The thief had a smug nature to him that she found only appealing. He sat so relaxed and yet in control of his surroundings. She watched as one hand slowly moved the decanter closer to him as his other hand didn’t move a hair and rested on the chair’s arm. She didn’t hear him follow her, didn’t see him enter the room. She should have flown out the window by now. But there was a familiar old-world way of him that intrigued the woman as her eyes brightened with recognition. She ran her fingers through a lock of hair that seemed to flare out to the thief.

“I have it.”

“On you?” The thief studied her dress again.

“In me.”

With a tilt to his head, the thief took this woman in once again. He had heard of people swallowing valuables or even holding them in their body in some sort of fashion before. And if this woman was in fact holding a whole candlestick in her, well that would be quite impressive.

“In you?” he quizzed her.

The woman shrugged with a smile.

“And the gold necklace that you stole earlier in the night?” a smile crept up on his face.

“Stole?”

“Isn’t that what you do?”

“Says a thief,” the woman lightly scoffed.

“To another thief,” he countered.

She beamed, “Not quite.”

He smirked back, “Then what is it you do?”

Without missing a beat, the woman fished out a loose diamond from between her cleavage as if it were a pocket. She lifted the gem to sparkle at the moon and looked back at the thief, who was staring straight at her.

“I dine,” she said before she popped the diamond into her mouth and crunched down.

The thief watched as her throat swallowed down the now crushed gem. He didn’t blink or stir at the revelation before him. He hummed under his breath and nodded to the woman.

“It’s a good snack,” She spoke quickly but matter-of-factly.

“Never tried it.”

“It’s not for everyone.” She smiled brightly.

The thief smiled a toothless but friendly smile back to her. His head started running with hundreds of questions, but his hand stretched out to the decanter of liquor next to him. Pouring a glass for himself, he offered the woman a glass as well. He guessed that she was parched after eating the stony treat. She declined the drink and sat idly in the window.

“Interesting appetite you have, señorita?”

“Aurelia.” The thief waited a second for more as the woman spoke, “Just Aurelia.”

With a nod, he extended his arm and drink out towards the woman and said with a steady smile, “Pedro Urdemales.”

They both sat there in the still room looking over each other with quiet delight, when suddenly multiple footsteps could be heard stomping through the hall outside the room. Pedro looked towards the door in frustration for being interrupted and swiveled towards the window with an escape idea in mind. But before he had the chance to speak, he saw the window was empty. Striding over, he angled his body out the window and caught sight of his glowing new friend swiftly walking down a near-by street. She glanced behind her once and threw a wave to him and turned to quicken her steps away. Pedro huffed in amusement as he leaned back into the room. The footsteps were getting louder now. He was about to step back into the shadows as a gilded feather swayed through the air before him. Pedro snatched it out of the air and grazed his fingers over the soft gild as he blended into the shadows.

The door opened and two figures took in the empty room. The guards argued and squabbled about hearing voices and doing more searches. Normally the thief would have wanted to exit such commotion, but he was too busy plotting his next rendezvous. His newly acquired obsession with a blooming birdie had his attention. But first, he did need to steal those family jewels now.

The Grey and Gold Temple

This place is underground. The walls are grey, I run my hand along it, the surface is rough but in the back of my mind I know it was once made of smooth marble. The cold temperature  of the wall drains into my fingers. My hand reaches the headlamp attached to my forehead. The white beam of light flooded the labyrinth of halls. Every couple meters there is a statue of an Indian deity, body covered with gold jewels which was dulled by the sheet of dust and dirt. I could feel panic coil tightly around my chest for absolutely no reason. I cry out a name unrecognizable to my ears. I run through the halls, the sound of my boots hitting the ground echoing into the deep maze. I knew there was no way out of here, trapped in an ancient grey and gold temple several meters below the ground.

New Seven Wonders of the World

Great Wall of China (China) Built between the 5th century B.C. and the 16th century, the Great Wall of China is a stone-and-earth fortification created to protect the borders of the Chinese Empire from invading Mongols. The Great Wall is actually a succession of multiple walls spanning approximately 4,000 miles, making it the world's longest manmade structure.

The Art Deco-style Christ the Redeemer statue has been looming over the Brazilians from upon Corcovado mountain in an awe-inspiring state of eternal blessing since 1931. The 130-foot reinforced concrete-and-soapstone statue was designed by Heitor da Silva Costa and cost approximately $250,000 to build - much of the money was raised through donations. The statue has become an easily recognized icon for Rio and Brazil.

Machu Picchu (Peru)

Bruce Tuten via Flickr Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 2.0

Machu Picchu, an Incan city of sparkling granite precariously perched between 2 towering Andean peaks, is thought by scholars to have been a sacred archaeological center for the nearby Incan capital of Cusco. Built at the peak of the Incan Empire in the mid-1400s, this mountain citadel was later abandoned by the Incas. The site remained unknown except to locals until 1911, when it was rediscovered by archaeologist Hiram Bingham. The site can only be reached by foot, train or helicopter; most visitors visit by train from nearby Cusco.

Rome's, if not Italy's, most enduring icon is undoubtedly its Colosseum. Built between A.D. 70 and 80 A.D., it was in use for some 500 years. The elliptical structure sat nearly 50,000 spectators, who gathered to watch the gladiatorial events as well as other public spectacles, including battle reenactments, animal hunts and executions. Earthquakes and stone-robbers have left the Colosseum in a state of ruin, but portions of the structure remain open to tourists, and its design still influences the construction of modern-day amphitheaters, some 2,000 years later.

Declared a World Heritage Site in 1985, Petra was the capital of the Nabataean empire of King Aretas IV, and likely existed in its prime from 9 B.C. to A.D. 40. The members of this civilization proved to be early experts in manipulating water technology, constructing intricate tunnels and water chambers, which helped create an pseudo-oasis. A number of incredible structures carved into stone, a 4,000-seat amphitheater and the El-Deir monastery have also helped the site earn its fame.
