Jordan-Petra
The Kazneh, "The Treasure", is the most celebrated icon of Petra, one of the world’s most revered cultural sites. But time and tourism are damaging its monuments, carved into sandstone cliffs. How long it endures depends on how it is cared for today. Akasheh acknowledges, it must return to the desert sands: “Some monuments have disappeared and some are more affected than others. It is natural for man to respect his past, to want it to last as long as possible. And good documentation of the site keeps its memory safe, even after it is long gone”.
