Secret tomb found under ‘Indiana Jones’ filming location in Petra

Archaeologists have uncovered a tomb containing at least 12 human skeletons and artifacts estimated to be over 2,000 years old beneath the Khaznah, or Treasury, in Petra, Jordan.

Led by Dr. Pearce Paul Creasman of the American Center of Research, the team discovered the tomb after conducting ground-penetrating radar scans that revealed similarities to previously found tombs.

This excavation, filmed for Discovery Channel’s “Expedition Unknown,” yielded well-preserved grave goods, including bronze, iron, and ceramic artifacts, with one skeleton holding a ceramic chalice resembling the Holy Grail.

The intact burial provides rare insight into the Nabataean people, who thrived from the 4th century BC to AD 106.

The discovery may be the largest collection of human remains found in Petra, highlighting the potential for significant archaeological finds even in well-known locations, CNN has reported.
