    Not to get all Indiana Jonesy about it, but 12 skeletons? From right around year 0? And they even show a picture of a weathered, ceramic cup?

    The article plays it straight, but I'm pretty sure this = Holy Grail confirmed.

      Year 0? I thought Petra was much much older than that.

      If year 0 is correct, these people were buried long after Petra was a bustling city then?
