  • Why doesn't it look anything like in the "Last Crusade?" LOL, Is this the actual temple they show on the outside in the movie?

  • Yes it's the actual temple. Pretty awesome to see it in person, sadly there was no immortal knight inside!

  • omg how did the ancient people dig such hard rock without using bomb?

  • The rock is not too hard...its sandstone...easy to shape

  • It should still be opened to visitors.I don't think things have changed so much in a few months.When I was there new kinda rooms had been found recently beneath the entrance.Anyway,it's truly impressive.

  • When i went in 2006, they would not let people in the rooms. It was guarded and blocked. Wish i could have gone in.

  • is that as far into it visitors are allowed to go?

  • @presa1200 yeah, agree with markeceves here, and btw people back then were real geniuses :D some things from back then will never reveal to us :)

  • It's actually the Treasury. The outside of it was used for Indiana Jones, but a new and different inside was constructed for the movie. It looks nothing like the real inside of the building.

  • Did you have too kneel before you entered by any chance :)

  • I don't think that's a temple ... it's the Treasury building

  • i went to petra last summer and i saw that they closed the temple entrance

  • LOL, too bad, it would sure make the adventure complete I'm sure. So what's actually inside the temple? I've been told it was a 5th C monastery..
