Chapter 1004 The Place on Earth Most Like Mars

Leah Alonso is one of the two women in Yang Jing's eight-person secretarial team. She was born in Barcelona, ​​Spain, and is a beautiful Catalan girl.

After Leah obtained a master's degree in economics and management from the University of Barcelona, ​​she was spotted by Joseph Hunt by chance and introduced to Atlantic Capital. After working at Atlantic Capital for several years, Leah became one of the candidates for succession with her outstanding performance.

However, last time the Dragon Fund headquarters wanted to equip the new boss Yang Jing with a secretarial team, Joseph recommended Leah after asking for her personal opinion, and she was lucky to be selected and became one of the eight people closest to the big boss in the entire Dragon Fund.

Leah's biggest hobby is traveling, and she travels around during her holidays every year. For example, she had been to the ancient city of Petra two years ago, so this time she became a guide when visiting the ancient city of Petra.

"Boss, Sofia, this is the ancient city of Petra." Leah stood beside Yang Jing and Gege, pointing to the ruins of buildings in the surrounding valley and said, "As early as the sixth century BC, the nomadic Nabataeans from Arabia moved north from the Arabian Peninsula and came to this hidden valley, where they established the capital of the Kingdom of Edom. See that canyon hidden in the mountains over there? That is the famous Siq Gorge, and at the end of that canyon is the famous Khazneh Temple."

Because they have been with Morris and the others for so many days, the secretaries who originally called Yang Jing "BOSS" now learned from Morris and the others and call Yang Jing "Boss".

"Let's go and visit the ruins outside the Sikh Gorge first. The best will be saved for last." Yang Jing said with a smile.

On the outskirts, they spent about two hours touring the ruins full of historical vicissitudes, and then began to walk towards the Siksan Gorge.

When we looked at it from the outside just now, we didn't think this Sikh Gorge was so unique, but after we actually walked into it, we couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature.

The gorge is extremely narrow, with the widest part estimated to be less than 10 meters wide, and the narrowest part only allows a carriage to pass through. The cliffs on both sides of the gorge are estimated to be at least 70 to 80 meters high or even higher. The high sun cannot even shine its light into this narrow and deep gorge. The gorge is winding and tortuous, and in some places, because there is no sunlight, it even makes people think it is night. If there is any word to describe this gorge, Yang Jing and Gege think that "a line of sky" is the most appropriate.

"Boss, this canyon is about 1.5 kilometers long. The widest part is seven meters wide, and the narrowest part is only about two meters. The average height of the cliffs on both sides is over 90 meters!" Leah explained to Yang Jing and Gege as they walked.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the canyon in front of them suddenly became open. The canyon expanded from a narrow width of a few meters to a width of more than twenty meters. On the mountain wall on the west side of the canyon, a huge temple appeared in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Khazneh Temple, one of the Seven Wonders of the New World!" Leah said excitedly. What appeared before everyone was a temple built out of the mountain wall, more than 40 meters high. Against the backdrop of this narrow canyon, it looked particularly tall and majestic.

This is a temple with typical ancient Roman Corinthian style, divided into two floors, with fine patterns carved on the beams and eaves, and typical late ancient Greek architectural style. The bottom floor is supported by six stone pillars with a diameter of about two meters, and the upper floor has six semicircular stone pillars carved out of the mountain wall. In the three niches between the stone pillars, there are stone statues of angels, the Virgin Mary and winged warriors, which are extremely lifelike.

"The Khazneh Temple is 42 meters high and 27 meters wide. It is the largest building in the entire ancient city of Petra. It is said that this temple was used by the Nabataeans to store the large amount of treasures they looted from Egypt, so it is called the Khazneh Treasury. Of course, this temple is also the tomb of the Nabataean king and the temple where the Nabataeans worship Essence, the goddess of fertility in Egyptian mythology. However, there is also a widely circulated fairy tale about this temple. Do you know what it is?" Leah asked with a smile, "Oh, may I remind you that the fairy tale comes from the Arabic folk tale machine "Arabian Nights"."

The group thought about it for a long time and shook their heads.

Leah laughed happily, "You must have heard the story of 'Alibaba and the Forty Thieves', right?"

Everyone nodded in unison, just like the children.

"This Khazneh Temple is actually the treasure house in the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves that can only be opened with the password 'Open Sesame'."

"Really?" Gege asked in surprise, and then the girl asked jokingly: "If I say 'Open Sesame', will this place open?"

Leah's expression suddenly turned bitter. "Sophia, this is just a legend. But don't you think this temple looks familiar?"

After Leah said this, many people nodded. The bodyguard leader Morris smiled and said, "I think I've seen it in a movie."

Leah snapped her fingers excitedly and said, "That's right. In fact, the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade starring Harrison Ford was filmed here. Spielberg was so imaginative back then that he even said that the Holy Grail was hidden in the Khazneh Temple... Oh, and Michael Bay's Transformers 2 was also filmed here."
