In the winter of 1916/17, the Deutsch-Türkisches Denkmalschutz-Kommando (German-Turkish Monument Protection Command) explored and mapped the Petra site. The results were published in 1921 in a publication by Walter Bachmann, Carl Watzinger, Theodor Wiegand and Karl Wulzinger. In it, this archaeological site was named "Great Temple" without any concrete evidence. When in 1993 the excavations of the Brown University (USA) under the direction of Martha Sharp Joukowsky started, which lasted until 2006, this designation was kept.
