The "red-rose" city of Petra stands as one of the most glorious and mysterious archaeological sites on earth.

The builders of Petra, the Nabataeans, were thought to be some of the wealthiest people ever to inhabit the Middle East, but they, along with their riches, simply vanished. What was Petra and could the Arabian site be still hiding precious treasure? Watch Digging for the Truth Season 3, Episode 8 Lost Treasures of Petra in HD free online.
