Its temple-like tomb awed millions in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. How did an ancient people over 2000 years ago build this magnificent city in one of the most bone-dry locations on Earth? In a daring experiment a geoscientist and sculptors team up to carve a Petra style tomb. And archaeologists and hydro-engineers uncover a water system that would have made this desert city the Las Vegas of the ancient world.
