Wow I had no idea how big the monastery was until you pointed out the size comparison with people standing by or on it.

Great video Tina. I was in Petra for 5 days and that was barely enough time to give it a cursory examination of some of the anomalies at the site the place was so enormous. It was almost like being in the Grand Canyon but covered in facades. There are other strange features beyond the fine machine marks you posted. There is another tool they used where some of the rooms and walls were cut with a giant butter knife. I can't think of any other word to describe it. Almost perfectly smooth walls with only the sandstone texture as it's main feature. No tool marks at all. Sometimes giant cuts are made with an apparent non-sensical purpose. And by the way, that sandstone is HARD. I first tried breaking some with my hand and it was impossible. Then I tried hitting it with another rock and it barely did anything to the surface. It's not typical sandstone. National Geographic did a special on Petra and they had 2 experienced stone carvers attempt to make a simple 1/4 scale Petra facade in Malibu at a location where the sandstone is softer and they simply could not replicate them the way archeologist presumed. Their hands were becoming bloody stumps. They ended up resorting to power tools just to get it finished. It looked like crap compared to the ones in Petra. During my trip I befriended a Bedouin guide and he took me to various areas unfrequented by regular tourist. The facades go much farther out from the main road than most people realize. We also climbed to the top of the Monastary, a truly breathtaking structure in size and beauty. You don't put that much effort into carving something like that unless it had a very special purpose. Most likely it was intended for people of a much larger stature. Why would a human being today build something with an oversized scale? They wouldn't. The ergonomics just don't fit. It would be an enormous wasted effort. Petra is truly a strange, huge, mysterious place. I'm only scratching the surface of my experiences there. I just wished I could've stayed for a several months instead of just 5 days.

Good luck with your channel! I hope it grows fast. We need more people like you and the other you tubers who will help people wake up realize our past is more complicated than we've been taught

Thank you for the video Tina, fascinating stuff! My feeling is that Petra predates the great Younger Dryas great flood. It strikes me that no one has gone into detail (or detailed speculation) regarding the visible flood markings on all outside walls in Petra. It is as if the lower 1/5 of the facade has been scraped off. This was no ordinary flooding.

My goodness Tina! You sure do your research. I think you have the best questions ( more than most ) of all alternative theories and research! Keep up the good work! I believe, by the way, that alternative archaeology and research is just as reliable and valid as our current text book “excepted history “ suggests. No one knows for sure. A lot of lost history. 😊👍

Another great video, Tina! Great analysis. I wish I could visit these amazing sites for myself. Thank you.

Great research and analysis. Your video seems to be the first to put Petra into its proper archaeological context. It does seem to fall into place with the other high-tech excavations you have documented world wide. Thank you!

Yes! This is my favorite channel.

Great video as usual! Always look forward to your content.

As usual, a great video! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Great history lesson, and an incredible subject! As always thanks for the video, loved it! What a wonderful world.

Excellent subject. Looking forward to this. All the very best Phil aav

It's too bad we couldn't have more intellectually curious, and smart people like you in the archeological field. Your work, and conclusions are solid, and logical.

Amazing video and info. Thanks so much. I wish you All the best.

Very interesting. So many examples of ancient stone workings that are difficult to explain!

You are awesome sauce Tina. Thank you for sharing such fascinating and excellent thought provoking videos. 🗿☕💙😊

This is my first visit to your channel. Such a good presentation; thank you.

I wouldnt call those stone caves "plain", that patterning in the stone is insane! 🤩🥰

Super interesting Tina 🙂👍!! Friday and a video from you, Perfect Day You are amazing btw!!

Very good observations on your part that lead to logical conclusions. Excellent work, thank you for the post!

This is brilliant! Thanks for all the research. Petra is much higher quality than the rest. It's like Egypt, the oldest people had the most sophisticated architecture. When are you going to travel to some of these places and do some livestreams with closeups?

Thanks for the wonderful content keep it up

Very thorough , thoughtful, well presented. What a gift!

Another wonderful presentation thank you.. I hope you know how much your work is valued and will be valuable for many years to come.. I have learned much from you and for that I am truly grateful.

I really enjoyed your video. Also you revealed the comparison to Hegra that I did not see before. Your video is sooo much more interesting that the respected Anchient Architects channel on KZfaq that claimed Petra was mostly the work of the Romans!!! A while back when you made those videos about the ancient caves in China with the toolmarks I shared with you the image on a Brien Foerster video shot in "Little Petra". Here you could see these toolmarks ending their streak with a hump. You can see here that the rock was like mud or butter that was being scraped in shape. I wish you had included this in your video. These tools are the same as the ones in the Chinese caves and at some sites in Egypt. Once again thanks for your video. I wonder what will be next.

Listened for a few min and subscribed. Looking at your channel. I am very interested in watching more of your vids! 👏👏👏👍😎

Oh my, I love Petra and other ancient sites of Arabian peninsula, thank you so much.

I always liked you doing the thumbs up while you asked for the thumbs up ✌🙃✌ And as usual, great video and you are correct.... Signed...... A consistent fan 💛

I'm also more ancient than assumed! Good to see you back for another interesting history lesson! I've also just followed you on twitter. And gave your first tweet an RT.

Excelent. Thankyou for showing this to us.

this is great today and knowledgeable thank u for the time u dedicate 👍🎶💕☀

interestingly presented ........keeep up the good work..

Love all of the Petra shows, you certainly do the best research.

Another fabulous documentary, thank you Tina for your sharing your insights

petra is so very mysterious. immaculately decorated outside and very plain inside

Impressive work. A very interesting subject.

Amazing video!! You should have 10x subs!!

Excellent analysis, as usual. I especially was impressed by the detailed analysis at 17:28 of Petra as a city for the living. Great job, Tina..

You've given me a lot to think about on the level of the stone work. "Thank you. I find Petra fascinating.

She is very thorough and the questions she proposes are worth finding the answers too.

Your curiosity is only matched by your beauty Tina, and thank you for yet another insightful video

Well researched!

Great video and content, gives the mainstream something to think about I'm sure

Glad to see your hard at work. It’s been awhile. Points to ponder. Everything with columns and Doric arches is called Hellenistic. Thus dating is largely by form in relation to historic Greece and what we think we know of that history. We see a very wide distribution of Hellenistic form geographically. Much wider than the Greeks were known to have traveled. Therefore this suggests an older culture which had archetypal designs adopted by the Greeks as well as these other cultures. The cut rock striations support this same conclusion as well. You discussed thermoluminesense dating in a previous video. It’s a good technique on fired pottery, not so good on sun exposed rock. One analytical technique we don’t often see is geomagnetic orientation applied to such sites. The usual application is in dating sedimentary or igneous rock formations by identifying the alignment of magnetic crystals to the earths magnetic field, which processes geographically on a know pattern. This technique is well defined. But it won’t tell you when a rock was cut. Only when it was formed. Now many sites like Petra have been found to contain small patches of plaster or mortar. Initially it was thought that these stone works were totally mortar-less. And to a large degree they are. However, recent close inspection reveals errors in cutting and fitting which appear to have been “fixed” with mortar, presumably by the initial builders. Testing of this mortar might very well yield magnetic orientation data on age. I know of only one case where this was done. By a Russian team working one of the Peruvian megalithic sites. The published age was dismissed by the majority. Mortar sampling is generally frowned upon due to the destructive nature of the sampling process. So. Here we sit in catch-22. We “feel” that these sites are older. But can’t prove it by existing technology, and we are not allowed to test a bit here and there for fear of diminishing the site. Or the accepted date upon which numerous professional reputations rest. So we can but speculate. Fox out.

Really well done! Interesting and provocative.🤗

The lady narrating this is absolutely beautiful! Good video on history also. Subscribed.

Will watch soon, but I love the painting behind you.

Great information, thanks!!

Great documentary, Tina. I will tweet you some pics showing close-ups of tool marks at Petra.

Cool video thanks.

You have enriched yourself and cultured yourself by your choice of resesrch and methods. Very smart focus. Truely awesome monuments of what must have an amazing culture of people. Thanx4sharing your richness with us. You are a very special angel, and I love your voice.

Great new photos

Tina thank You for tons of informations, everything about Hegra is new for me . Thanks, Good Work.This is IT . Amazing video, uses of photos, good choices. You are STAR! Tina Curious Being Jones ! :) / You know , Indiana :)/ Still Curious and looking for Hidden Ancient Machine ! Must be somewhere and waiting for You ! You will find it, fingers cross for You !:)

Next to Praveen Mohan, your channel has become my favorite. I actually felt happiness when I noticed this latest post 😍

Tina, you ask the right questions, notice the unnoticed and bring it to light, never daring say what you're thinking and leading us to think. Wonderful !! "You can lead a horse to water, but can't make it drink." You drown out disbelievers with images, truth, following a soft spoken yet undeniable narrative. Congratulations on producing an "eye opener".!!

Thank you for this very clear expose!

Nice job!

Hello CB, KZfaq never notifies me of your new posts. Glad I found you again. I was wondering what new horizons you were exploring. ❤️ From Boston.

You have a kind voice and personality that I hug the air. So, my hugs to you curious being. Your looks add up to your knowledge and curiosity.

Very good research . . .

,hi Tina once again great video Petra is amazing and now I know a lot more about it thank you I always love your work take care Tina from Andy 👍

Excellent and thought provoking video as always. Your description of the interior rooms of that one structure in Petra (three rooms and a main room) reminds me of the top of some South and Central American pyramids. I wonder if they served that same possible purposes?

Given the cavernous interior spaces in Petra, it might be that these interiors were fitted out with interior constructions made of wood or other materials. These might provide multi level living spaces of more human sizes. Also, such interior structures might have been more solid and stable than a similar excavation of rock which could be prone to collapse.

Yes, a very nice observation and precise research has enriched me. I agree with you very much. And thank you.💋🙏🙋‍♀️

New subscriber here, and a bit of an art history/architecture nerd; I have never seen, at least in my research and meandering, the use of pediments as in Petra. At 1:37, top left pediment, it’s folded along its vertical axis, but in unfolding it, the design and architecture isn’t lost, and it maintains continuity and its geometry until reaching the stone on which its carved.

My favorite super beautiful anthropologist and archeologist ❤️ I hope you e been well sweetheart, glad to see an upload. Much love and respect to you: ❤️-Troy

A remarkable water system in Petra is under reported in the media. The climate at Petra when it was built must have been cooler and wetter as agriculture to grow crops for the population occurred. I haven't seen any documentation about population density at Petra or information on burial practices of the general population.

Great video Tina! Have you seen the flower room yet? That is beautiful. It's artwork is amazing.

These photos are so incredible. Your analysis very poignant. Great job. Others show only a couple of areas at Petrus.

Perhaps some old Nabatine legends about those who came before exists? Seems to be a common thread. Really good video with really good information. Thank you. =)

That's Tina, on the right, at 12:15. 😂 Just kidding. Another excellent video about a subject I thought I knew. You give such extensive and compelling evidence, each time. All of your topics are ones I'm interested in, especially your channel's general theme of an earlier civilization. I hope I live long enough to learn of it's discovery, one day. 🤩🥰

What did they do with all the material removed to make the chambers?

toujours très intéressant ,merci a vous.

I am suprised that no one to date has taken accurate measurements of some of the features of buildings. For example, how round and linear are the columns? What is the tolerance difference between similar columns etc. Also, how square are the corners in the caves? Such information would assist the debate about how they were made and with what tools.

A good video presentation. Beautifully thought out, and beautifully presented by a beautiful girl. xxx

thank you for your info on this subject i too would like to go see the differences i wonder if weather wear be dated to see if they were of the same time period?

Well done!!!

Hi Tina. When I look at all of the stone structures in the world I wonder why. Why build like this. I think it was easy. I don't know how they did it, but it was easy. Your work with the machine marks is spot on. Keep being curious. Thank you for the great content.

Great video. This place Petra has always stumped me a little more than other megalithic sites. Egypt,Gobekli Tepe, sites in South America all seem to have reliefs of animals or people or hybrids of both. Even the Sumerians had chariots. This place almost reminds me of those plain white clay figurines you get from an art store to decorate as your own but was never finished. I don't think there is even any evidence of paint anywhere. Seems like a lot of work not to personalize it.

Great Research Tina, you have brought forward many things in this video that all other pseudo-researchers have completely missed and I applaud you for it. From the many videos I have seen on Petra, I observe that many facades could easily be fake-chiseled render. The evidence is there, just as it is all over the world at other sites.. Creating those perfect parallel chisel marks is very easy to accomplish with a jagged toothed wooden trowel, this gives perfect flat surfaces and parallel markings. Archeaologists are not builders, that havent got a clue!

越来越喜欢你的视频和频道了，只是在国内想看到还挺不容易的😊。Petra也是令人惊叹和神往的远古遗迹之一，虽然我不是个很爱好旅游的人，但是如果真的要旅游，我觉得这样的地方才是真正值得去看的地方。

It's my opinion that the differences in the quality of the stone work, would be that the machinery and knowledge to operate it, was lost, buried, destroyed or repurposed between both sites over the eons. Of course the natural fracturing in the stone facades of the monuments, as well as weathering from centuries of environmental occurrences surely had a part in it's appearance today.

And then there is Kailasa Temple in Ellora, Maharashtra, India. Ellora Caves - 34 monasteries and temples, extending over more than 2 km, were dug side by side in the wall of a high basalt cliffs. BASALT FOR HEAVENS SAKE!

Hello my lovely, I've been away for a time. I read the essays of Montaigne and he describes an account of travellers who visited Bhagdad who were told by the priests that they had records going back 225000 years continuously, without any break in the timeline. - Stay lovely Tina!

I just discovered your page today. I can’t help but wonder if the books that Zecharia Sitchin wrote about the Anunnaki could answer some of the questions that you have. Good luck on your journey!

Thank you for this video ... it's excellent. The carvings at Petra look remarkably similar to the Library of Celsus at Ephesus en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Celsus. Both places have extensive water ways. Have been to both locations ... my first impression was that they may have been created by the same people

Absolutely stunning. :)

Well done Tina.

very interesting.

I built bareekas 2 years in Yemen; I agree with your water analysis.

I had never before seen the interiors of Petra, but then again, I never researched Petra. Thank you for the look inside. I am still convinced that a race of great stone masons lived on Earth, Eons ago and either bugged out just before the Younger Dryas or before then. Why they did what they did, only "they" know.

Excellent.

Well done 👍

Be SAFE! Keep up the GREAT WORK!😁

I’m a huge history buff and Petra has been on my bucket list since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Petra city of the God's.. Hegra city for us little humans.. Petra is one special place.. I loved your information thanks 😊

Good work. I very much agree and don't understand why no serious work is done on these sites. Apparently there was a group of giant humans living at the time where they built All these giant places. There is one carving of a camel the size of a whole mountain in a recent archaeology report.

You raise a very interesting questions, two resonate with me. First, why the scale dufference between them? Secondly, why the ' newer ' ones of less quality? In our current society, we have gone from log cabins to highrises and anyone can see the progression, not regression, of styles and teqniques to acomplish them. As to the question that undoubtedly arises, where is the rock from within, it may be as simple as literal sands of the deserts.

Hi Tina I am the first viewer to this, didn't see the movie!!

I've been watching some of your videos, i love it so far as an ancient world and history enthusiast. I think we are all want to know the truth about the enigmatic of our ancestors, i believe i am not alone here :) love to see your reply and may i know about your educational background for the credibility? Hehe keep it great Mrs. Tina
