On 9 June 2016 The Guardian reported:
Archaeologists have found a monumental structure buried under the sands of Petra, according to a new study that drew on satellite imagery to scan the ancient city. Petra was built by Nabateans more than 2,000 years ago. 'To my knowledge, we don't have anything quite like this at Petra,' said Christopher Tuttle, an archaeologist who has worked at Petra for about 15 years and a co-author of the paper [on the discovery]. Tuttle collaborated on the research with Sarah Parcak, a self-described 'space archaeologist' from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who used satellites to survey the site.
Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of culture and science, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
Petra was built by the Nabateans in what is now southern Jordan, while the civilization was amassing great wealth trading with its Greek and Persian contemporaries around 150BC. The city was eventually subsumed by the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman empires, but its ruins remain famous for the work of its founders, who carved spectacular facades into cliffs and canyons. It was abandoned around the seventh century, and rediscovered by Swiss explorer Johann Burckhardt in 1812.
Parcak said that she expects 'some pretty amazing discoveries over the next year' using satellites and sophisticated new techniques in south-east Asia 'and other densely forested/rainforest areas'.
