Petra Theater, constructed during the 1st Century AD in Petra, Jordan, exemplifies the advanced engineering and architectural prowess of the Nabataeans. This impressive structure features a semi-circular auditorium meticulously carved out of the local sandstone, with the seating area divided into three horizontal tiers, separated by broad passageways and accessible via seven stairways.
