Petra, Jordan

Research questions for the ancient city of Petra:

-Why was it built in the first place?

-What does it represent for Jordan and the rest of the world?

-Does it reflect any current politics in the Middle East?

-What is the attitude towards the city from Jordan, the Middle East, in particular Israel?

My questions are mostly focused on what this old, amazing piece of history means in recent times. Also how the politics in the Middle East affect the preservation and the city itself.
