Album Info:
Qasr al-Bint was built in the 1st century BC, by Obodas III, on an earlier foundation. There are three chambers in the cella, and therefore three gods who were worshiped here. As this is assumed to be the chief temple of Petra, one would expect a dedication to Dushara. However, on the basis of two inscriptions of the Roman period, the temple seems to be dedicated to al'Uzza (Allat), Ba'al-Shamin (Jupiter), and to a still-unidentified third god or goddess.
