[africanjupiter]

[Davidsbeenhere]

@africanjupiter thanks it really was!

[nixter888]

Was Moses alive the 800 b.c?I ALWAYS THOUGHT Moses lived the year 1390 b.c.

[nixter888]

Thee characteristics of the place are partly Egyptian and partly Greek, clearly pointing to the age of the Ptolemies...close of the 2nd century BC, when the Ptolemaic and Seleucid kingdoms were equally depressed, the Nabataean kingdom came to the front...

[nixter888]

Under Aretas III Philhellene, (c.85–60 BC), the royal coins begin. The theatre was excavated at that time, and Petra have assumed the aspect of a Hellenistic city. In the reign of Aretas IV Philopatris, (9 BC–40 AD)..then the Romans came and the place was absorbed into the Roman Empire as part of Arabia Petraea, becoming capital.

[nixter888]

The passage in Diodorus Siculus 94–97which describes the expeditions which Antigonus sent against the Nabataeans in 312 BC is understood to throw some light upon the history of Petra, but the "petra" referred to as a natural fortress and place of refuge cannot be a proper name and the description implies that the town was not yet in existence!

[nixter888]

It is supposed to be Established sometime around the 6th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans,..but it's not sure the the curving of the Petra happened at that time because Diodorus Siculus when he wrote the Bibliotheca historica,was between 60 and 30 BC.

[nixter888]

So it is more likely that these curves were made by the Hellenistic years by the Greek generals of Alexander the great,and later we see elements of the Greco-Roman time!..THANK YOU!..THE TRUTH HAS TO BE SAID!

[nixter888]

Petra was curved from someone that new about the Greek Corinthian order!...I WONDER !!!!

[Davidsbeenhere]

@nixter888 ok thanks for the insight

[nixter888]

@Davidsbeenhere YOU ARE VERY WELCOME!

[RozsiVizsla]

[makadamija1]

Beautiful!

[Davidsbeenhere]

@makadamija1 I know it really is!!!

[ranamuhammadatif]

Thanks for visiting one of my favorite places

[Davidsbeenhere]

@ranamuhammadatif no problem!! this is what I do

[mewoone]

it is true that ancient Arab cared about carving because they cared about death and life after death! if you go further south (in Arabian desert) you will find two cities madain saleh and madain shoaib both are Nabataeans cities.... The two cities showed not just nabateans era but also lihyan

[Davidsbeenhere]

@mewoone wow thanks for the info I have to visit them. They are in Saudi Arabia right?

[mewoone]

@Davidsbeenhere Yes both cities are in Saudi Arabia..you will find it interesting. Petra is famous and crowded but these cities are isolated by few people who know about it! If you really go to Saudi arabia you should also see lihyan(Dedan) ruins ... which is a kingdom before Nabtean and their style more like Egyptian.

[globalpeter100]

jordan and petra must be great

[Davidsbeenhere]

@globalpeter100 you have to visit!!
