Researchers who used ground-penetrating radar also discovered an extensive array of grave offerings beneath the ancient Treasury building.

The mysterious veil of the Treasury monument in Petra, Jordan, has been lifted once again.

Beneath the ancient rock-cut building, archaeologists have uncovered a hidden tomb containing 12 relatively well-preserved human skeletons, along with an extensive array of grave offerings. 

Similar tombs were found more than two decades ago on the other side of the famed Treasury, also known as Al Khazneh, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

They said twelve graves… not 12,000 graves.

Did they find the Grail? And a weird knight from the crusades that speaks perfect English?

And has very clean and new-looking clothing with metal grommets

Hey, with all that time on your hands you’re going to be obsessively polishing something… and that knight probably took certain vows.

Great, another curse has been unleashed on humanity.

Was it hidden? Or just kinda forgotten because nobody’s been living there for a spell?

Oh there were plenty of spells that were unleashed when they opened the tomb.
