An unlooted tomb that remained hidden for over two millenia was discovered beneath the iconic Treasury monument in the ancient city of Petra.

Despite its fame, an archaeological dig conducted by American and Jordanian researchers uncovered a hidden tomb featuring 12 human skeletons.

A 2,000-year-old tomb has been uncovered at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Petra, one of the world's most famous archaeological sites. It contained the well-preserved skeletons of 12 individuals and hundreds of artefacts.

Discovery Channel’s popular show “Expedition Unknown” was recently on site to document the discovery of 12 human skeletons and artifacts dating back at least 2,000 years, which had all been long hidden beneath the famed Khazneh (or “Treasury”) in Petra. The colossal find was accomplished by a team lead by archaeologist Pearce Paul Creasman.

Archaeologists made a historical discovery at an iconic landmark in Jordan once featured in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.”
