Dr. Richard Bates and his team used ground-penetrating radar to explore the area, marking the first deep probe in over two decades. Previous discoveries of hidden tombs around the Treasury, made in 2003, faced challenges due to funding and bureaucratic hurdles. The recent findings confirm long-held suspicions about more untouched tombs in the site, providing significant insights into Petra’s historical significance.
