Earthquakes made many of the buildings fall down. As the year went by, people stopped coming and living there. Finally, the world forgot the city of Petra. In 1812, a Swiss traveller called Johann Ludwig Burckhardt heard about the lost city. Local people told him that it was in the mountains, and someone took him there.
