You’ve most likely seen this famous, ancient site in movies like “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” and “The Mummy Returns.” Biblical prophets like Daniel and Isaiah and even Jesus spoke about the monumental structure at Petra in connection to end time prophecy. Now, archaeologists have discovered an enormous platform has been hiding in plain sight near this amazing place in Jordan.
