How is it that a YouTuber offers a more detailed and thorough explanation of Petra than any of the “professional” documentaries I’ve watched over the years? 🤔 Well done Sir!

[sanadkhalifeh]

I'm from Jordan and I highly recommend everyone to visit Petra at least once in their life, it's a beautiful experience

[suziecreamcheese]

As someone said a you tuber did a better job than most professional documentarians in covering a subject. Also if English is your second language you would never know it. Your narration was so clear and you kept the pace so lively without the silly drama most documentaries are subject to. Keep up the good work. I’m a new subscriber as of today.

I visited Petra in 1995. It was a remarkable and awesome experience. A powerful presentation from Manuel! Thank you. 🙏

I have travelled to many of the sites that Manuel has evaluated but I am AMAZED by the information he adds. I especially appreciate the architectural facts he shares and the great music that accompanies his narratives. I am so thankful that I found these programs. They are wonderful.

I have just stumbled across your video and commentary. Thank you, Manuel, for sharing your knowledge and the excellent virtual tour. I cannot travel due to poor health and lack of wealth, but you have bridged the gap for me, and now I can enjoy the wonders of the ancient world from the comfort of my lounge room. The images are no longer static - you have brought them to life for me.

There is no one today, on the face of this earth, that can even begin to replicate that kind of stone work. It is quite obvious our ancestors were a whole lot smarter than history gives them credit for being.

I didn't know Petra was so extensive. Thank you for showing me more of this remarkable city! 11321

How great is Petra. The Nabataean Kingdom is one of the oldest Arab kingdoms that extended in the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula and the south of the Levant to the Mediterranean coast, and trade routes flourished in it across the Arabian Peninsula. And a side note, King Aretas is the Greek pronunciation for Haritha, and my brother's name is Haritha

At my age I would not be able to visit Petra but you have given me a wonderful visit of one of the places I always wanted to see. Thank you.

[edithkinsey]

That was THE BEST, the MOST informative concise and pleasant tour I have ever seen of Petra!!! Great work!

[jimgoodrich]

This is a truly magical place, Manuel. Thank you for walking the entire area to share the entire experience with us.

[alaaobaid]

Great video and easy to understand explanation, as a Jordanian citizen I thank you for taking the effort to show the importance of Petra and it's beauty <3

[Michael.Cocchiaro]

This is absolutely stunning. I love the broken pediment design and structure. As always, Manuel, I am so impressed with your work and the educational content of your work, as well. Thank you!

[rangergrey]

Was just watching your Pantheon video when you posted this, love your easy-watching videos. Keep it up, boss!

[benitodominguez]

I have read nothing but we'll deserved and uplifting appraisals for your work. I'm not usually caught by historical remains rather by events from the past but you have deeply impressed me. Thank you.

[Boertje]

Thanks so much for this video! I almost feel like I’m walking through it with you as you explain it. I had no idea it was so much bigger than the one famous building/tomb. I likely will never be able to visit it, but your video is the next best thing! Thank you so much.

[arizona]

Awesome documentary! Thank you for your hard work in putting this together. I don't think I'll ever get to Jordan to see this, so it is great to be able to stumble across this on YouTube.

[DarthTurducken]

I've been fascinated with Petra for years. Great video! i would've loved to see it in it's prime.

The way ancient people carved this Petra structure from solid rock tops all other similar-sized structures, old and new. Truly AMAZING 👍
