85% Informative

Archaeologists discovered a tomb with at least 12 human skeletons and artifacts that are estimated to be at least 2,000 years old .

The discovery may be the largest collection of human remains found in one place within Petra , researchers say.

The intact burial provides rare insight into the lives of the Nabataeans , ancient Arabian nomads.

So far, out of the Nabataean tombs found, there does not seem to be a huge difference between royal and regular burials.

The researchers suspect that many of the textiles and jewelry that are usually found in burials were lost due to the humidity and floodwaters seeping into the tomb.
