“Running to the tops of the mountains around Petra are stone stairways carved form the rock, some of them over a mile in length. On ascending these stairways we find sacrificial altars where the people used to worship on the high places thousands of years ago, the outlook from which is sublime and enough to stir in one's heart those emotions which ever have led man to worship his Creator."
-Lowell Thomas
“With Lawrence in Arabia” (1919)
