Royal Tombs Cliff Face, Petra, Jordan — Four grand mausolea — the Urn Tomb, Silk Tomb, Corinthian Tomb, and Palace Tomb — were carved side by side into a massive cliff face, their scale suggesting they housed the remains of Nabataean royalty. The Urn Tomb was later converted into a Byzantine church in 446 AD.
