What reading level is The Jordan Valley And Petra V.2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The timbers let into the walls have rotted away in places, but in others are still sound. We sorely desired to secure pieces of these, but failed through the lack of ladders and tools with which to cut off any sec- tions. The ruins in the vicinity of this building will well repay the study of the skilled archaeolo- gist who can take the time necessary to master their details.
Immediately to the left of the Kasr, in the rocky wall, is seen the unfinished tomb so often referred to, showing that t...he ancients did their carving, as they did their quarrying, by working from the top downward. A hole at the base of this monu- ment leads to a cavity behind the projected pillars, and a rude stairway ascends to the level where the workmen were engaged, when some change in the life of the city drove them away forever.
Not many yards to the left of this point is an- other object of interest— the Columbarium (see p. 137) cut into the solid rocks. The existence of a place of sepulture of this sort shows clearly that the people of Petra at some time burned their dead.
