The latest project to hit 10k votes on LEGO Ideas is a replica of a 2,000 year old building brought to wider attention by a certain archeologist.

The next LEGO Ideas review has just got its latest addition, as The Treasury – Petra reaches the 10,000 vote goal line. The Treasury, or Al-Khazneh, located in Petra, Jordan, was believed to have been built in the 1st Century AD. Carved out of a sandstone rock face, it became instantly recognisable around the world when it featured in the final scenes of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989.

The design, which is made of nearly 2,500 pieces, is the first Ideas project by user thepresident and has taken just over two years from submission to reach the magic 10k. The design, which is very much a display piece rather than a play set is an accurate representation of the structure which was ‘lost’ for many years, only being rediscovered in 1812 by a Swiss explorer.

The Treasury – Petra joins a long and varied list of projects that will go through to the next Ideas review. You can browse the full list of below.
