Obelisk Tomb & Bab as-Siq Triclinium.

This is a fine tomb with four pyramidal obelisks, built as funerary symbols by the Nabataeans in the 1st century BC. The four obelisks, together with the eroded human figure in the centre, probably represent the five people buried in the tomb. Amazing structure that marks the beginning of more to come !

Das Obelisken Grab und das Bab el-Siq Triclinium, zwei eigenständige, in die Sandsteinklippen gehauene Bauwerke, liegen übereinander. Das obere Monument, bekannt als „Obelisken Grab“, besteht aus vier länglichen Pyramiden, die Nefesch symbolisieren, nabatäische Symbole für den Verstorbenen. Dahinter befindet sich eine zentrale Nische mit einer abgenutzten Skulptur einer in einen Umhang gehüllten männlichen Figur, die den Patriarchen des Grabes darstellt und über fünf darunterliegende Bestattungsnischen wacht.

Jeszcze przed przekroczeniem Kanionu znajdują się pierwsze budynki starożytnego miasta Petra; Grobowiec Obelisku i Bab el-Siq Triclinium, dwie konstrukcje wykute w skale w I wieku n.e. Triklinium to typowa nabatejska sala bankietowa/ jadalnia z trzema ławkami, w której odbywały się uczty pogrzebowe ku czci bogów lub przodków.

Pierwszy grobowiec na ścieżce do Petry. Cztery obeliski wykute wysoko w skale wyróżniają ten grobowiec na tle innych budowli. Poniżej znajduje się Triclinium, czyli miejsce spotkań i uczt. To dobry punkt na początek zwiedzania, bo od razu pokazuje charakter nabatejskiej architektury. Mniej zatłoczone miejsce, gdzie można spokojnie zatrzymać się i zobaczyć detale w skale.

Built between 25 AD to 75AD, carved into the sandstone cliffs are 2 separate rock cut. Oblelisk Tomb - the upper that is well known for having a crowned with four elongated pyramids, these are tombs of an elite Nabataen family.

Il primo monumento dopo l'entrata. Non perderci troppo tempo, la strada è lunga!

مدفن المسلات – البتراء مدفن المسلات يُعتبر من أبرز المعالم الفريدة في مدينة البتراء، ويقع بالقرب من مدخل السيق. يتميز بواجهته المنحوتة في الصخر والتي تعلوها أربعة مسلات نبطية، ترمز على الأرجح إلى الشخصيات المدفونة في داخله. يُظهر هذا المدفن براعة الأنباط في الجمع بين العمارة الجنائزية والفنون الرمزية، حيث يجمع بين الطابع الديني والوظيفة الجنائزية. أسفل المسلات، يمكن مشاهدة المدخل المؤدي إلى غرفة الدفن. ✨ زيارة مدفن المسلات تمنح لمحة مميزة عن المعتقدات الجنائزية عند الأنباط، وتُعد محطة مهمة في بداية الجولة الاستكشافية للبتراء The Obelisk Tomb – Petra The Obelisk Tomb is one of Petra’s most distinctive monuments, located near the entrance to the Siq. Its façade is carved into the rock and topped with four Nabataean obelisks, believed to represent the individuals buried within. This unique structure highlights the Nabataeans’ architectural skills in combining funerary design with symbolic artistry. Beneath the obelisks lies the entrance leading into the burial chamber. ✨ A visit to the Obelisk Tomb offers fascinating insight into Nabataean funerary traditions and serves as an important stop at the beginning of the Petra exploration.

Beautiful and unique tomb, basically first one of the type you see, coming in to Petra. The picture I'm adding is a night picture.

Superato l'ingresso e percorsi i primi metri di strada in direzione del Siq, sulla sinistra si incontra questa splendida tomba sormontata da obelischi piramidali di chiara ispirazione egizia. Nonostante sia relativamente lontana dalle principali attrazioni che offre Petra, questa tomba merita almeno quanto le altre! Da vedere.

Dopo aver superato l'ingresso principale e molto prima di raggiungere il canyon, si trova la tomba dell'obelisco. La struttura è ancora molto ben conservata ed è un primo assaggio delle meraviglie che si possono ammirare più avanti lungo il percorso.

Uapik gaess luarrrrr biasaaaa top markotop

Settembre2024 dall'ingresso sulla strada sterrata che vi porta all'ingresso del siq troviamo la tomba dell'obelisco, ben conservata con le sue caratteristiche "piramidi" (nafesh) nella parte superiore, erette come monumenti funerari. Fu costruita infatti sopra una struttura molto più antica, dalla facciata decorata con colonne doriche. costruita dai Nabatei nel I secolo d.c. Sulla parte opposta della scogliera è presente una doppia iscrizione in nabateo e greco, che fa riferimento a un monumento funerario appunto.

The Obelisk Tomb and Bab as-Siq Trail is the entrance to the Treasury at Petra and more! The entrance fees is 50 JOD for one day and 55 JOD for two days. I recommend the one day because it doesn’t need more than 7 hours to complete all the trails. A horse ride is included with the price but tips are expected, however, we have done it without and finished everything by foot so we could take in the amazing views.

Amazing architecture. One of the first structures as you enter the ruins.

Impressive remains from a couple of thousand years ago. You can see Greek architecture on the first two levels, then the Egyptian inspired obelisks atop. A nice sight to see as you begin your trek to the Treasury.

The Obelisk Tomb is one of the many impressive rock-cut tombs that can be found at the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. It is located in the northern part of the city, along the Street of Facades, a row of tombs that served as the final resting place for the wealthy and powerful inhabitants of Petra. The Obelisk Tomb gets its name from the four obelisks that are carved into the top of the facade, which were likely intended to symbolize the four corners of the world or to honor the four winds. The tomb is a prime example of the intricate and detailed craftsmanship that was typical of the Nabataean people, who carved many of Petra's most impressive structures out of the sandstone cliffs. The Obelisk Tomb consists of a central chamber with a vaulted ceiling, which would have housed the remains of the tomb's occupants. The facade of the tomb is adorned with a series of columns, pediments, and other decorative elements, which were carved out of the sandstone cliffs with incredible precision and attention to detail. Like many of the tombs at Petra, the Obelisk Tomb was likely plundered by looters over the centuries, and its contents have long since been removed. Nevertheless, the tomb remains one of the most impressive and striking structures in Petra, a testament to the incredible skill and artistry of the Nabataean people who built it.

进入景区不久就会有阿拉伯人迎来让你乘坐马车，并会用英语告知马车是免费的，费用都包含在门票里，作为国人的我们，这种套数已经熟悉的不能再熟悉了，拒绝后自己步行进景区，佩特拉景区基本都保存着原始的样貌，石子路两旁有不少纳巴泰人的墓穴，根据墓穴的规格和开凿的精细度能判定墓主人当时社会地位的高低。

The Obelisk Tomb is towered by four obelisks which is why it is so named. The Egyptians believed that the obelisk structure could guide the souls of the dead to the afterlife. Constructed in the first century BCE, the tomb is an elaborate two story tomb carved from the solid rock with influences of Egyptian, Greek, Indian and Nabataean architectural styles.
