The second picture was made by Annie Leibovitz in Petra, Jordan in 1994. Just tiny part of huge historical architectural ensemble is shown on this picture. But it perfectly shows the scale to human, contrast with rocks and environment, but so elegant; unbelievable, amazing.

The ancient city of Petra was at the center of the great Nabataean trade empire, which was a hub for not only the exchange of goods, but ideas and culture as well. This confluence of culture would lead to the unique style of art and architecture seen in Petra.

Although their dwellings remained simple, the inhabitants began incorporating the ideas and styles of their trading partners into their tombs and monumental architecture. The architectural style of the Nabataeans was a blend of Assyrian, Egyptian, Hellenistic, and Roman influences that were incorporated into the unique architecture of Petra.6 The first monumental constructions were the numerous tombs surrounding the outer limits of the city, much like the cities of the Greek and Roman Empires.
