Among The 7: Post 7: The Lost City with People living in it

And now, for the last post, but not the least, The City of Petra. 

The ancient city of Petra is located in a remote valley, among (See what we did here?) sandstone mountains and cliffs. A myth states that Moses struck a rock in the city and water gushed through. 

Later the Nabataeans, an Arab tribe, made it their capital. During this time, it flourished, becoming an important trade center, especially for spices. The Nabataeans were very good sculptures. They chiselled dwellings, temples, and tombs into the sandstone, which changed colour with the shifting sun. 

Famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system, Petra is also called the "Red Rose City" because of the colour of the stone from which it is carved. 
 
It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. 
 
Petra is home to roughly 800 tombs, therefore known as the “Royal Tombs”, with the most renowned being The Treasury. The Treasury was originally built as a mausoleum and crypt, and is estimated to be over 2,000 years old.  
 
In addition, they constructed a water system that allowed for lush gardens and farming. At its height, Petra reportedly had a population of 30,000. 
 
The city began to decline as trade routes shifted. A major earthquake in 363 CE caused more difficulty, and after another tremor hit in 551, Petra was gradually abandoned. 
 
Although rediscovered in 1912, it was largely ignored by archaeologists until the late 20th century, and many questions remain about the city.  
 
Few Bedouins still live inside the historic site of Petra, dating to around 300 B.C.
 
Now, for our opinions…. And advice where we are in no position to give you. Although people live here, we don’t recommend you to live there because Petra is a ghost city.

School while also Acting

  As the majority of you guys requested, we are going to write on how child actors balance school and acting. Most child actors, unless they are told otherwise, will expect that the money they earn is theirs to keep and that it will be available to them when they come of age. Unfortunately for child actors, there are only laws like the Coogan law in FOUR states in the country: California, New York, New Mexico, and Louisiana. Work Hours for Minors in the Entertainment Industry are restricted. Minors in the entertainment industry may not work more than eight hours in a day [LC 1308.7 and 1392] or more than 48 hours in a week Most don't attend a real school once things take off; they do independent study on set with a tutor. If there are multiple kids in a cast, they may have a set teacher who looks after all of the kids. Sometimes in a dual role as tutor and chaperone. When they are not scheduled for work that day, they go to regular school or home school.  The regular school te...
