Finding 12 ancient skeletons in a place that was not previously known as a tomb is pretty stunning. Imagine if you found 12 bodies under your neighborhood bank- people would freak out, and it's not nearly as old as the Petra Treasury.
Many places we know now as tombs weren't known as such before, that is untill some skeletons were found.
What makes it unusual was this place was very well known as a treasury beforehand and has been a popular tourist attraction for over 100 years.
If you wait around long enough anywhere becomes a tomb.
