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.
It's well known it was never an actual treasury; there's not much inside to it, and it's the first main "building" you see when entering through the canyon, designed to impress rather than store valuables. The name comes from rumour/legend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khazneh#Name. Most of the cliff structures are tombs.
If you wait around long enough anywhere becomes a tomb.
