Indiana Jones might want to take a look…

Fascinating (though too short!) article I found on CNN.com and written by Katia Hetter regarding…

“Massive” Monument Found in Ancient Petra

You should read the article but the jist of it is this: Thanks to aerial photography and drones, a very large monument has been found.  This is what it looks like:

An overhead image of the new monument at Petra photographed from a drone, and a detail overlay of the surface features in which the image is rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

Thanks to satellite imagery, drones, and aerial photography, it appears we’re more easily discovering things like this.

Makes one wonder just how much of our human history remains to be uncovered.

Fascinating, fascinating stuff.
