Church was an American landscape painter, so this particular piece was different from his usual style: no panoramic views and little sense of depth.The purpose of the Al Khazneh, or the Treasury of Petra,was unknown. Some archaeologists thought it was a temple, and others claimed it was used to store documents. However, in 1996, they uncovered a crypt. Archaeologist Suleiman Farajat found the remains ofat least 11 individuals.
