The ancient city of Petra was founded around 312 BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans. The famous archaeological site is also known as the Rose City due to the color of the rock out of which it is carved.

The exterior of the Al Khazneh, or The Treasury at Petra, is featured as a filming location in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (*spoiler alert) as the Holy Grail's residence.

The beginning portion of the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was filmed at Arches National Park in Utah.

The rugged terrain and unique rock structures are a national treasure, at least until we have to sell them to avoid marginal tax increases.

treasure island

This former naval base has been the filming location for many different films and tv shows.

The Treasure Island Naval Base served as the Zeppelin Airport in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

The Robin Williams' films Flubber, What Dreams May Come, Patch Adams and Bicentennial Man were all filmed on this island. The "bullet-time" sequences for The Matrix were filmed in the former air hangers here.

And for three seasons, the Comedy Central show Battlebots was filmed here. This show will undoubtedly be projected on enormous screens in the future, as our robot overlords force humans to fight each other to the death for their amusement.
