Petra was not "built" in the usual sense. Petra was carved into the cliffs present in that area like an "inside out sculpture". The material removed in the process of carving was mostly used as fill in flood control and irrigation dams.

∙ 13y agoPetra was not built in the ordinary way. "Building materials" were not brought in by truck, then cut, shaped and assembled.
The basic material was simply a hillside, which was then hollowed out. The result was possibly the most beautiful set of caves ever constructed.
One of the other truly beautiful things about Petra is the description -
' a rose-red city half as old as time '.
