materials utilization was totally a selection process that involved deciding from a

tombs and monuments.

as old as time itself’. This would mean it was built before the Earth was formed, so

it was the busy capital of the Arab kingdom of the Nabataeans. ( ) Hidden away
among red sandstone hills and surrounded by cliffs, it was the perfect desert hideaway.

in styles copied from the buildings of Greece and Rome. ( ) Most impressive of
all is the front of the Treasury, which is 28 metres wide and 40 metres high.)
