Obelisk Tomb In Petra, Jordan Stock Photography

Obelisk Tomb in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. The Obelisk Tomb takes its name from the four Obelisks which decorate its upper storey. The Obelisk was a common Nabataean funerary symbol and clearly demonstrates Egyptian influence. An inscription in both Greek and Nabataean to be found opposite it, refers to a family tomb built by Abdmank which may well be the Obelisk tomb itself.
