The Treasury

Sin duda, El Tesoro es lo más conocido de Petra. Y su fama, en parte, se la debe a Indiana Jones y la Ultima Cruzada. Bueno, para ser sinceros, su fama se la debe a su belleza pero su popularidad se puede achacar al señor Jones. Lo cierto es que, tras caminar durante un buen rato por el Siq, ver cómo va apareciendo El Tesoro ante tus ojos es una experiencia de lo más impresionante que he vivido. Tiene algo especial. Desde el color, que cambia durante el día de un tono más amarillento a uno más rosa según le va dando el sol, hasta su solemnidad. Da igual que estés rodeado y acompañado de multitudes haciendo fotos, vendiendo cosas o incluso estorbando. Da igual. Lo cierto es que uno se puede quedar ahí mirando y mirando, asombrado. Y uno tiene la curiosidad de acercarse y adentrarse en su interior. Aunque luego te arrepientes (dentro no hay nada más que un vacío enorme). Pero abruma saber que eso era la puerta de entrada de la ciudad nabatea. Y abruma más saber que está todo por descubrir. Que debajo hay mucho, que alrededor hay más. Que los terremotos y el tiempo han ocultado todo lo que allí existía civilización tras civilización. Y que te quedan horas y horas de paseo por Petra. Porque, amigo, El Tesoro es sólo la entrada. Luego comienza la exploración.

Undoubtedly, El Tesoro is the best known of Petra. And his fame, in part, due to the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Well, to be honest, his fame owes its beauty but its popularity can be attributed to Mr. Jones. The truth is that after walking for a while by the Siq, see how appearing Treasury before your eyes is an experience most impressive I"ve lived. It has something special. From the color, which changes during the day more yellowish tone to a more rose as he is giving the sun until its solemnity. Whether you"re surrounded and accompanied by crowds taking pictures, selling things or even cluttering. Does not matter. The truth is that you can stand there looking and watching, amazed. And you have the curiosity to approach and penetrate inside. But then you repent (inside there is nothing but a huge empty). But overwhelms know that was the gateway of the Nabatean city. And overwhelms most know that is all to discover. Beneath much, that around more. Earthquakes and time have hidden all that there was civilization after civilization. And you are hours and hours of walk through Petra. Because, friend, El Tesoro is only the entrance. Then the exploration begins.

Il famosissimo Tesoro è l'immagine più emblematica di Petra e dell'intera Giordania. Il nome non ha niente a che vedere con il luogo: si tratta infatti di un templio costruito nel I secolo a.C. dal re nabateo Aretas III. Il monumento è stato costruito nel posto più spettacolare, in quanto appare subito dopo l'uscita dal Siq, il passaggio di 1,5 km in mezzo alle rocce. L'emozione è straordinaria. A rovinare il momento, ci sono decine di venditori che vogliono farti montare a cavallo o venderti qualcosa e che vi 'distrarranno' dalla visione. Nonostante questo, vi renderete conto di essere davvero di fronte a una delle sette meraviglie del mondo moderno.

The famous Treasury is the most emblematic image of the entire Petra and Jordan. The name has nothing to do with the place: it is a temple built in the first century BC by the Nabataean king Aretas III. The monument was built in the most spectacular as it appears immediately after the exit from the Siq, the 1.5 km of passage through the rocks. The emotion is extraordinary. A ruin the moment, there are dozens of vendors who want you to ride a horse or sell you something and you 'distract' from the vision. Despite this, you will realize really be in front of one of the seven wonders of the modern world.

Salir del desfiladero e ir viendo aparecer poco a poco El Tesoro es una experiencia única. Viendo la fachada te das cuenta de lo "ignorante e interesado" que es el genero humano. Huellas del paso de "civilizaciones avanzadas" tales como "huellas de disparos" en "la olla del tesoro" (que en realidad es el fruto del granado). No es lo mismo ver El Tesoro por la mañana o por la tarde, los colores son diferentes... Lástima que muchos de los detalles se han perdido y solamente se pueden intuir o ver ...en las láminas del dibujante inglés del siglo pasado David Robert. Después de caminar durante un buen trecho y con calor... la llegada y ver esa fachada es impresionante

Exit and go gorge gradually seeing appear Treasure is a unique experience. Viewing the facade you realize what "ignorant and interested" which is the human race. Footprints step "advanced civilizations" such as "traces of gunfire" in "treasure pot" (which is actually the fruit of the pomegranate). Not the same view Treasure morning or afternoon, the colors are different ... Too bad that many of the details are lost and can only intuit or see ... in the sheets of the last century English artist David Robert. After walking for some distance and heat ... arrival and see that facade is impressive

Sono stata anch'io a Petra e non ho parole per descrivere il posto da quanto mi è piaciuto. E' la seconda meraviglia del mondo moderno, dopo la Muraglia cinese. E ' un'area vastissima tutta da visitare, da non perdere la visita notturna : il Siq illuminato solo da fiaccole lungo tutto il percorso. Se avete in programma un viaggio a Petra non perdetevelo.

I was also in Petra and I have no words to describe the place as much as I liked. It 's the second wonder of the modern world, after the Great Wall of China.
