If you wanted to do a related video the Germans have recently finished excavations at Tayma I'm Saudi Arabia - likely the predecessor of the Nabatean Kingdom. The ancients wrote alot about Tayma and the Babylonian Nabonidus stayed there for 10 years which was pretty weird. In general Saudi has the most archaeological potential in the region coz the Saudis largely banned digs until recently www.researchgate.net/publication/227775476_Archaeology_and_epigraphy_at_Tayma_Saudi_Arabia
It'd be better if the names of the kings are pronounced in [modern] Arabic (as it is related to language of the Nabataean) rather than in Greek. For example, Aretas is the Greek pronunciation of the name that became Harthah or Harithah (حارثة) in modern Arabic. Obodas is 'Ubaydah (عبيدة). And, Malichus is Malik (مالك).
Yeah unfortunately theres a culture in academia in the western world especially to call historical figures by their latinized or hellenized names rather than their actual historical names.
@@meep3035 It seems western historians and antiquarians seem to think that only the ancient Greeks and Romans existed in classical antiquity. Or at least these are the only two cultures that matter.
In 7th Century, with the Advent of Prophet Muhammad, People who we are identifying as Nabataeans are actually known in the Qur’an as Ashaab Al-Hijer (People of Petra / Hegra) who were Actually Two Oldest Arab Nations ‘Ad and Thamud extinct before Prophet Abraham, described as People who used to create their Abode inside the Mountains by Carving Rocks , G-d had destroyed them due to their wrongdoings and denial in the existence of G-d and His Messengers. Whereas, Nabateans has no link to former Arab nations ( “Ad and ‘Thamud) rather they are one of the progeny of Prophet Ishmael’s son Nebaioth / Nabit .hence called Nabateans. Consequently, Prophet Muhammad was from the progeny of Prophet Ishmael’s 2nd son Kedar hence called Kedarites.
The Arab heritage of the Nabateans is important to acknowledge, especially given the widespread ignorance of pre-Islamic Arab civilization. However, to be fair to the scholars, little to no Nabatean literature has survived. Greek sources thus inevitably play a larger role than local ones.
The ones who survived and wrote history as we know it happened to be the Greeks and Romans. That's what happens when you are the founders of Civilization.
@@davidmontoute2074 very nice observation my friend, that could very well be the case... just a note; Petra’s Nabatean-Aramaic name was Raqmu, also, Bet Rakim.. I suppose the Arabic version “Ar-Raqim” was a later variation or a later translation.
@@msb8792 , Raqmu, yes. Other Medieval permutations of the name included Arachem & Arach, with the orginal term being "Reqem", supposedly named after a Midianite king. It's likely though that Josephus' "Reqem" was just a bit of folk etymology.

@The Traditionalist The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “When the Day of Resurrection comes, the people will surge with each other like waves. They will come to Adam and say, ‘Intercede for us with your Lord.’ He will say, ‘I am not fit for that. Go to Ibraaheem for he is the Close Friend of the Most Merciful.’ So they will go to Ibraaheem, but he will say, ‘I am not fit for that. Go to Moosa for he is the one to whom Allaah spoke directly.’ So they will go to Moosa but he will say, ‘I am not fit for that. Go to ‘Eesa for he is a soul created by Allaah and His Word.’ So they will go to ‘Eesa but he will say, ‘I am not fit for that. Go to Muhammad ﷺ”. So they will come to me and I will say, I am fit for that.’ Then I will ask my Lord for permission and He will give me permission, and He will inspire me with words of praise with which I will praise Him, words that I do not know now. So I will praise Him with those words of praise and I will fall down prostrate before Him. He will say, ‘O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak and intercession will be granted to you, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘O Lord, my ummah, my ummah!’ He will say, ‘Go and bring forth everyone in whose heart there is faith the weight of a barley-grain.’ So I will go and do that. Then I will come back and praise Him with those words of praise and I will fall down prostrate before Him. He will say, ‘O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak and intercession will be granted to you, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘O Lord, my ummah, my ummah!’ He will say, ‘Go and bring forth everyone in whose heart there is faith the weight of a small ant or a mustard-seed.’ So I will go and do that. Then I will come back and praise Him with those words of praise and I will fall down prostrate before Him. He will say, ‘O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak and intercession will be granted to you, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘O Lord, my ummah, my ummah!’ He will say, ‘Go and bring forth from the Fire everyone in whose heart there is faith the weight of the lightest, lightest grain of mustard-seed.’ So I will go and bring them forth.” (Al-Bukhaari, 7510)
@@kingj4315 Yes! The historical (not the fictional) figure of Mohammed was a Nabatean who married a super rich Nabatean Caravan owner, Khadijah. In Mohammed’s time, the Mecca in Saudi Arabia was NOT even included in the Caravan trade.
I'm a proud Saudi muslim, however, one thing I find disheartening is the Arab tendency to downplay and sometimes erase our pre-islamic history. We can both be proud of our islamic history and pre-islamic one. And this dispels the common self-imposed propaganda that Arabs had no history before islam. Did you know there are pre-islamic writings that start with "bismillah"? that means even before islam, the arabs had a sense for allah or "god" and always exalted his name. I find that to be fascinating.
I watched a BBC documentary once that made a very compelling case for Palmyra being the actual Mecca mentioned in the Quran and modern Mecca being a later invention. The argument was the geography in Palmyra match's that described in the Quran by the profit Muhammad and Mecca was a desert in 600ad. Also the oldest mosque in the world which was in ruins, it's whatever thats called that faces towards Mecca faced towards Palmyra. They said Mecca was created during I think the Abasyd Caliphate as Palmyra had a series of terrible earthquakes.
Nope. This is the original habitation of Esau. The "white" man. Look at your architecture, it's the same everywhere you go with your democracy and Christianity.

@@olafharoldsonnii4713 He is descendent of ‘Adnnan, who is great grand son of Ishmael And we know from History at least from 800 B.C.E Qedarites and Nabateans and Sabaeans were ruling Tribes of Arabia, their kingdom were spread as far as Mesopotamia (Babylonia) in the north and south to Yemen and west to Egypt. To the point many Biblical Israelite Prophets married with them including Moses, David, Solomon, Jericho - peace be upon them All. Here is a Lineage of Prophet Muhammad until ‘Adnan, Great grandson of Prophet Ishmael. The following is the list of chiefs who are said to have ruled the Jazeera (Arabia) and to have been the intraline ancestors of Prophet Muhammad: Adnan > Ma'ad (معد) > Nizar (نزار) > Mudhar (مضر) > Ilyas (إلياس) > Mudrikah (مدركة) > Khuzaimah (خزيمة) > Kinanah (كنانة) > al-Nadr (النضر) > Malik (مالك) Fihr (فهر) > Ghalib (غالب) > Lu'ay (لؤي) > Ka'b (كعب) > Murrah (مرة) > Kilab (كلاب) > Qusai (قصي) > Abd Manaf (عبد مناف) Hashim (هاشم) > Abd al-Muttalib (عبد المطلب) > Abd Allah (عبد الله) > Prophet Muhammad (محمد) According to Tradition, Adnan died after Nebuchadnezzar II returned to Babylon. After Adnan's death, his son Ma'ad moved to the region of Central-Western Hijaz after the destruction of the Qedarite kingdom near Mesopotamia, and the remaining Qedarite Arabs there were displaced from their lands and forced to live in Al-Anbar province and on the banks of the Euphrates river under the rule of the Neo-Babylonian Empire (The Detailed History of Arabs before Islam Volume 5. pp. 160-161)

I dont think so. Most of honey's antibiotic properties are due to it being so concentrated. The only thing about honey that may help is bee defensin 1, a antibiotic put in honey by bees to defend honey while it dries.
The only issue I have about Petra is the dating. People try to make the dating much later than what I feel the city should be. Petra is clearly mentioned in the Am Tuat in Egypt thousands of years before the dating. Check it out for yourself. Petra, the eleventh hour. Just before Ra enters the heavens from the northeast. It's odd that ancient tombs had their entrances facing to the north also, during the old kingdom. I don't know. I could be wrong but that just doesn't seem to fit the timeline.
Very cool people i like how they wouldn't own a home or things cuz it makes them rely on things,the Romans ruined alot of great civilization destroyed all records rewrote there own i hate that.
Re: "By the time of the Arab invasion,...the cities had long been deserted...". This is incorrect - a most outdated view of the area. See the numerous extensive surveys that have taken place (eg. by the Finnish Jabal Harun project) over the last 20-30 years. Petra was FAR from being "deserted" or forgotten.
@@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449 nabataea.net/explore/culture_and_religion/scrolls/ Of the rolls excavated by the American Center of Oriental Research, 23 yielded partially continuous text segments and another 19 provided fragments with substantial information. The archive contains documents from 528 AD until the reign of Tiberius Mauricius (582-602 AD.)
@@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449 , thanks. I'll look at them. It's always important to keep abreast of new information of course. Part of the reason why archaeologists assumed Petra was "abandoned" by the 7th century is that the later Muslim conquest records don't mention it at all (but there's likely to be a quite unique explanation for that). Here is Micaela Sinibaldi of the Islamic Bayda Project: "The big misunderstanding, which traditionally saw Petra as a completely abandoned city after the Byzantine period, derived from several elements: the traditional focus of archaeologists on the exceptional remains in the Petra valley and less attention to its hinterland and its relationship with the valley itself; the great importance of the Nabataean period in the area, as opposed to the ones which followed; the difficulty of the interpretation of the archaeological documents involved, especially ceramics; and last but not the least, a certain fascination of seeing Petra in the dramatic, black-and-white tones of a complete abandonment and sudden rediscovery, cultivated by a somewhat Orientalist taste."
@@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449 , just a supplementary point, the Descriptio orbis Romani, written in the first decade of the 7th century by a Byzantine geographer, identifies Petra as the primary city of Palaestina Tertia, followed by Augustopolis (later Udruh). THe hinterlands of Petra in particular were heavily populated, and agriculture was thriving. There's no evidence that either the Persian invasion of Palestine, or the Arab conquests, had any material effect upon the city of Petra.
Aretas 3rd was called philhellene , lover of the Greeks , most of the archeologists believe that the greeko-roman influences were embraced into the city's architecture in his Reign , successfully extended the territory of nabatea as far as Damascus that he ruled for almost 14yers , Alhareth minted a coin portraying himself on the obverse while tyche depicted on the reverse , he was inspired by the goddess to build the city of alhumaymah to be a caravan station it's located 30 miles south east of Petra and those nabateans exiled in channeling water from a spring 17km away from this ancient city through a sophisticated aquaduct
Their history and story is in the Quran. They were powerful strong people that had the lifespan of hundreds of years. Their strength allowed them to build great architecture on the rocks. Prophet Saleh was sent to them by god as a messenger to guide them and warn them that they must stop their wrongdoings and follow god. They told him they would follow god on one condition that he has to tell god to create a living breathing camel out of a rock they had in their village. Prophet Saleh asked god, and god delivered. The rock broke open, and a pregnant camel walked out of the rock after it broke open. Prophet Saleh told them that god has a condition that they let the camel be, not hurting the camel in any way, and that they should let the camel roam freely and drink and eat freely from their village with no harm. The next day they conspired to kill the camel in order to prove that god doesn’t exist when they prove that no punishment will happen. Then they conspired to kill Prophet Saleh and his followers; but god has protected the prophet and his followers from them. After this incident prophet Saleh and his followers moved to a different land with a heavy heart. The prophet warned them that he has spent all his life trying to warn and guide them, and god gave them so many chances and showed them more mercy than they deserved but they never listened now they have angered god he warned them that in 3 days god will send his punishment on them and he hoped they would seek gods forgiveness during this time so god would show them mercy but they didn’t. They spent their 3 days in worry and arrogance by exactly the 3rd day’s morning the sky was filled with lightning and thunder, the earth shook very violently. God has destroyed the city of Thamud and it’s people died in a torment of fear and disbelief. They all fell down dead one and all at the same time. God has kept the city border still intact till this day in Alula Saudi Arabia as a warning to people not to do what the people of Thamud have done. Prophet Muhammad has encouraged Muslims to avoid that place at all costs and if they have to pass by it, they should pass hastily, and not stop because that place is not a peaceful place to see they have been punished violently and are still punished in the afterlife till this day under that ground. That’s why Europeans think it’s forgotten. It’s not forgotten it’s just a story too sad and scary to talk about we just use their story as a reminder. May god protect us all. God is the most merciful but he does punish severely too.
Nabet was the eldest from 12 sons of prophet ismail. The nabetean were from his lineage. They occupy the area of the Tsamud people who were present there before 20 Bc or before prophet Ibrahim.
@@moderate7958 The exact time period when Prophet Saleh (also spelled “Salih”) preached is unknown. It is believed that he came approximately 200 years after Prophet Hud. The carved stone buildings which form much of the archaeological site in Saudi Arabia date to approximately 100 B.C. to 100 A.D. Other sources place Saleh’s story closer to 500 B.C.
Nabataeans and Thamud ARE TWO DIFFERENT TRIBES FROM TWO DIFFERENT ERAS Nabateans are descended from Nabat first son of Ishmael While Thamud tribe descended from Aram and Lud sons of Sam and perished before the birth of Abraham himself
!4 the nabateans! (from the quran) suara: 146. "Will ye be left secure, in (the enjoyment of) all that ye have here?- 147. "Gardens and Springs, 148. "And corn-fields and date-palms with spathes near breaking (with the weight of fruit)? 149. "And ye carve houses out of (rocky) mountains with great skill. 150. "But fear Allah and obey me; 151. "And follow not the bidding of those who are extravagant,- 152. "Who make mischief in the land, and mend not (their ways)." 153. They said: "Thou art only one of those bewitched! 154. "Thou art no more than a mortal like us: then bring us a Sign, if thou tellest the truth!" 155. He said: "Here is a she-camel: she has a right of watering, and ye have a right of watering, (severally) on a day appointed. 156. "Touch her not with harm, lest the Penalty of a Great Day seize you. 157. But they ham-strung her: then did they become full of regrets. 158. But the Penalty seized them.

Interesting that the Nabateans first helped the Jewish Maccabees against the Greeks, then later helped the Romans put down the Jewish rebellion in 70 CE.
@@olafharoldsonnii4713 Did you missed the “half”? His father Antipater was an Idumean (Edomite) whose family converted to Judaism in order to join forces with the Maccabean (Hasmonean Clan). But Herod’s mother came from a very wealthy Nabatean aristocratic family, and pagan. Herod’s father decided to join the enemy - the occupying Romans - during the civil war, hence Herod’s education in Rome and his life-long friendship with Marcus Antonious. -- The Temple Mount was Herod’s fortress, named after his sponsor, Antonious.

There are supposed to be two groups of Nabataeans. This info is from the Nabataean site. " Nabat-al-Iraq and Nabat-al-Sham." Nabat-al-Sham is from Damascus, Syria. Sham = Shem = Sem or Semites. The Arab tribe is indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula. That makes it aboriginal.

If you wanted to do a related video the Germans have recently finished excavations at Tayma I'm Saudi Arabia - likely the predecessor of the Nabatean Kingdom. The ancients wrote alot about Tayma and the Babylonian Nabonidus stayed there for 10 years which was pretty weird. In general Saudi has the most archaeological potential in the region coz the Saudis largely banned digs until recently www.researchgate.net/publication/227775476_Archaeology_and_epigraphy_at_Tayma_Saudi_Arabia

Its all one big cover up my man.
It'd be better if the names of the kings are pronounced in [modern] Arabic (as it is related to language of the Nabataean) rather than in Greek.
For example, Aretas is the Greek pronunciation of the name that became Harthah or Harithah (حارثة) in modern Arabic. Obodas is 'Ubaydah (عبيدة). And, Malichus is Malik (مالك).
Yeah unfortunately theres a culture in academia in the western world especially to call historical figures by their latinized or hellenized names rather than their actual historical names.

It seems western historians and antiquarians seem to think that only the ancient Greeks and Romans existed in classical antiquity. Or at least these are the only two cultures that matter.
In 7th Century, with the Advent of Prophet Muhammad, People who we are identifying as Nabataeans are actually known in the Qur’an as Ashaab Al-Hijer (People of Petra / Hegra) who were Actually Two Oldest Arab Nations ‘Ad and Thamud extinct before Prophet Abraham, described as People who used to create their Abode inside the Mountains by Carving Rocks , G-d had destroyed them due to their wrongdoings and denial in the existence of G-d and His Messengers. Whereas, Nabateans has no link to former Arab nations ( “Ad and ‘Thamud) rather they are one of the progeny of Prophet Ishmael’s son Nebaioth / Nabit .hence called Nabateans. Consequently, Prophet Muhammad was from the progeny of Prophet Ishmael’s 2nd son Kedar hence called Kedarites.
The Arab heritage of the Nabateans is important to acknowledge, especially given the widespread ignorance of pre-Islamic Arab civilization. However, to be fair to the scholars, little to no Nabatean literature has survived. Greek sources thus inevitably play a larger role than local ones.
The ones who survived and wrote history as we know it happened to be the Greeks and Romans. That's what happens when you are the founders of Civilization.

@@davidmontoute2074 very nice observation my friend, that could very well be the case... just a note; Petra’s Nabatean-Aramaic name was Raqmu, also, Bet Rakim.. I suppose the Arabic version “Ar-Raqim” was a later variation or a later translation.
@@msb8792 , Raqmu, yes. Other Medieval permutations of the name included Arachem & Arach, with the orginal term being "Reqem", supposedly named after a Midianite king. It's likely though that Josephus' "Reqem" was just a bit of folk etymology.

So I will praise Him with those words of praise and I will fall down prostrate before Him.
He will say, ‘O Muhammad, raise your head. Speak and intercession will be granted to you, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘O Lord, my ummah, my ummah!’ He will say, ‘Go and bring forth everyone in whose heart there is faith the weight of a barley-grain.’ So I will go and do that.

I'm a proud Saudi muslim, however, one thing I find disheartening is the Arab tendency to downplay and sometimes erase our pre-islamic history.
We can both be proud of our islamic history and pre-islamic one. And this dispels the common self-imposed propaganda that Arabs had no history before islam.
Did you know there are pre-islamic writings that start with "bismillah"? that means even before islam, the arabs had a sense for allah or "god" and always exalted his name. I find that to be fascinating.

Also the oldest mosque in the world which was in ruins, it's whatever thats called that faces towards Mecca faced towards Palmyra.

People who we are mistakenly identifying as Nabataeans are actually known in the Qur’an as Ashaab Al-Hijer (People of Petra / Hegra , Ref: Al-Qur’an - 15:80-84) these people were actually two oldest Arab Nations ‘known as Ad and Thamud extinct long before Prophet Abraham, described in the Qur’an as People who used to create their Abode inside the Mountains by Carving Rocks , G-d sent Prophet Saleh (Methuselah - Genesis 5:21-27) upon them as a Warner but due to their wrongdoings and denial in the existence of G-d and His Messengers G-d destroyed them.

While, Prophet Muhammad was from the progeny of Prophet Ishmael’s 2nd son Kedar hence called Kedarites. (Isaiah 42:11)

Show me proof of Muhammad being a descendant of Kedar
@@olafharoldsonnii4713 He is descendent of ‘Adnnan, who is great grand son of Ishmael
And we know from History at least from 800 B.C.E Qedarites and Nabateans and Sabaeans were ruling Tribes of Arabia, their kingdom were spread as far as Mesopotamia (Babylonia) in the north and south to Yemen and west to Egypt. To the point many Biblical Israelite Prophets married with them including Moses, David, Solomon, Jericho - peace be upon them All.
Here is a Lineage of Prophet Muhammad until ‘Adnan, Great grandson of Prophet Ishmael.
The following is the list of chiefs who are said to have ruled the Jazeera (Arabia) and to have been the intraline ancestors of Prophet Muhammad:
Adnan > Ma'ad (معد) > Nizar (نزار) > Mudhar (مضر) > Ilyas (إلياس) > Mudrikah (مدركة) > Khuzaimah (خزيمة) > Kinanah (كنانة) > al-Nadr (النضر) > Malik (مالك)
Fihr (فهر) > Ghalib (غالب) > Lu'ay (لؤي) > Ka'b (كعب) > Murrah (مرة) > Kilab (كلاب) > Qusai (قصي) > Abd Manaf (عبد مناف)
Hashim (هاشم) > Abd al-Muttalib (عبد المطلب) > Abd Allah (عبد الله) > Prophet Muhammad (محمد)
According to Tradition, Adnan died after Nebuchadnezzar II returned to Babylon. After Adnan's death, his son Ma'ad moved to the region of Central-Western Hijaz after the destruction of the Qedarite kingdom near Mesopotamia, and the remaining Qedarite Arabs there were displaced from their lands and forced to live in Al-Anbar province and on the banks of the Euphrates river under the rule of the Neo-Babylonian Empire (The Detailed History of Arabs before Islam Volume 5. pp. 160-161)

Petra must have been extremely difficult to build, especially with the technology available to the Nabateans at that time.
Nice piece of Information
The only issue I have about Petra is the dating. People try to make the dating much later than what I feel the city should be. Petra is clearly mentioned in the Am Tuat in Egypt thousands of years before the dating. Check it out for yourself. Petra, the eleventh hour. Just before Ra enters the heavens from the northeast. It's odd that ancient tombs had their entrances facing to the north also, during the old kingdom. I don't know. I could be wrong but that just doesn't seem to fit the timeline.
They count it from the first king, so obviously it was dated late imo..

@@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449 , thanks. I'll look at them. It's always important to keep abreast of new information of course. Part of the reason why archaeologists assumed Petra was "abandoned" by the 7th century is that the later Muslim conquest records don't mention it at all (but there's likely to be a quite unique explanation for that). Here is Micaela Sinibaldi of the Islamic Bayda Project:
"The big misunderstanding, which traditionally saw Petra as a completely abandoned city after the Byzantine period, derived from several elements: the traditional focus of archaeologists on the exceptional remains in the Petra valley and less attention to its hinterland and its relationship with the valley itself; the great importance of the Nabataean period in the area, as opposed to the ones which followed; the difficulty of the interpretation of the archaeological documents involved, especially ceramics; and last but not the least, a certain fascination of seeing Petra in the dramatic, black-and-white tones of a complete abandonment and sudden rediscovery, cultivated by a somewhat Orientalist taste."
@@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449 , just a supplementary point, the Descriptio orbis Romani, written in the first decade of the 7th century by a Byzantine geographer, identifies Petra as the primary city of Palaestina Tertia, followed by Augustopolis (later Udruh). THe hinterlands of Petra in particular were heavily populated, and agriculture was thriving. There's no evidence that either the Persian invasion of Palestine, or the Arab conquests, had any material effect upon the city of Petra.

what irony this past 26 Dec. 2022, tourists on the site being flooded as if no one had warned them !
Their history and story is in the Quran. They were powerful strong people that had the lifespan of hundreds of years. Their strength allowed them to build great architecture on the rocks. Prophet Saleh was sent to them by god as a messenger to guide them and warn them that they must stop their wrongdoings and follow god. They told him they would follow god on one condition that he has to tell god to create a living breathing camel out of a rock they had in their village. Prophet Saleh asked god, and god delivered. The rock broke open, and a pregnant camel walked out of the rock after it broke open. Prophet Saleh told them that god has a condition that they let the camel be, not hurting the camel in any way, and that they should let the camel roam freely and drink and eat freely from their village with no harm. The next day they conspired to kill the camel in order to prove that god doesn’t exist when they prove that no punishment will happen. Then they conspired to kill Prophet Saleh and his followers; but god has protected the prophet and his followers from them. After this incident prophet Saleh and his followers moved to a different land with a heavy heart. The prophet warned them that he has spent all his life trying to warn and guide them, and god gave them so many chances and showed them more mercy than they deserved but they never listened now they have angered god he warned them that in 3 days god will send his punishment on them and he hoped they would seek gods forgiveness during this time so god would show them mercy but they didn’t. They spent their 3 days in worry and arrogance by exactly the 3rd day’s morning the sky was filled with lightning and thunder, the earth shook very violently. God has destroyed the city of Thamud and it’s people died in a torment of fear and disbelief. They all fell down dead one and all at the same time. God has kept the city border still intact till this day in Alula Saudi Arabia as a warning to people not to do what the people of Thamud have done. Prophet Muhammad has encouraged Muslims to avoid that place at all costs and if they have to pass by it, they should pass hastily, and not stop because that place is not a peaceful place to see they have been punished violently and are still punished in the afterlife till this day under that ground. That’s why Europeans think it’s forgotten. It’s not forgotten it’s just a story too sad and scary to talk about we just use their story as a reminder. May god protect us all. God is the most merciful but he does punish severely too.

Nabatean:Nabat means Peace in Somali Language...Incense,Frankincense and myrh doesn’t grown in Arabia but it does grow in Somalia till today.All the incense and Frankincense been used over the centuries come from Somalia.And Somali traders carried it on their camel across East Africa to Egypt and from across Indian Ocean to Yemen and onwards to Nabat city..This city prospered coz of peace.There was no Arab tribe robbing caravans in Nabatea..Somali people didn’t only carry frankincense and incense.They carried spices from India and sea salt from coast of Africa to Nabaatea to central Arabia which Indians couldn’t take to Arabia because of Roman moving in the area..Somali still use their Camels for cargo and wars..The kushite Somali were amazing Archers and they used their camels for wars to scare the horses in a battle..As for those carved mountains in Nabatea.It was done by the big Giants stature people of Salih as it says in the Quran..Maybe the Nabatean kushite Somali’s are offsprings of this giants who built Nabatea since Somali’s are the one of the tallest people on earth...The word Nabad means Peace..tell me any other language Nabad means a thing..?..Nabatea land sits on same plate as Egypt and Africa..So they must be related to Ancient Egypt and kushite coz Nabad is a kushite word..
Only aad tribes was black people like yemen oman thamud looked more like syrian
Only aad tribes was black people like yemen oman thamud looked more like syrian
The Nabateans are Arabs and Thamud, and the giants returned, they are defunct Arabs because they disobeyed God, and the Nabateans were white Arabs and not blacks.
@@GLOmar-my6xc If they are Arab why are they using Kushetic words like Nabad..And for your information Original Arab were dark black and soft hair..If you go to Yemen you see the original Yemeni are dark looking or mixed race of dark skin Arab and light skin Turkish or Indian arab..they look more like Ethiopianand let’s not forget that land was Himyar land connected to Ethiopia and Abraha..The light skin Yemenis are Indian and Indonesian..And Frankincense doesn’t grow in Yemen but in East Africa
@@GLOmar-my6xc Mate we all know the original Arabs were black and tall just like their original Hebrew cousins.who are black til today.you find the original Jews called Falashas in Ethiopia and original Arab who is black in Sudan..Our Light skin Arabs are mixed of Turkish background..With that Long Turkish nose you can’t call yourself Original Arab...I love Turks for your Information.Just like Iran population is 70% Turkish...You can’t lie to someone who knows you who you really are..For your info there were no white Arabs before or During our prophet Mohammed (SAW)..White skin Arabs are mixer Turkish revert who intermarried original Arabs and who came to Islam in droves..
Mount Sier = Petra = Esau this is the land that God gave to Esau, read your old books people
Petra =Nabatean = Ishmael = Arabs stop stealin other people history’s for god sake
@@yoniwolf6008 Petra was actually given to Esau by God himself.... Mount Sier it's it's real name.and by you saying stop stealing others history .. I'm actully a Wyndot Canadian so I hope you were not implying my people stealing your history now.... I love your old history you should learn about it. Start by going back way before the European came along... Truth hurts some times I know. But it is what it is. Can't change real facts up now no matter hard you try to erase them.... And Ishmael settled in front of the entrance into Egypt
Hey where did all the other comments on go?
@@sarahwaters10sw Esau is the father of the Romans, my lady, it seems that they are blessed in his visit
@@عليياسر-ك8ف LOL no there not go do some reading, the Romans rule over them. Herold was Esau and he didn't come from Rome Italy he worked for them he was not an Italian and was under Thier Authority something like the U.N. I should say Esau lands are Petra and that area... Rome came in and took over.... And made alliance with them... Rome is one of Japheth's dependents.. and who freaking cares any who for All who believe in Yahweh and follow our savior Yashuah will be saved... You should take a listen to our native American pow wows you can clearly hear us singing to Yahweh.... The coat of many colors and don't for get about those milk white Nazarines I gave you that scripture already. Blows my mind how racist unloving people actually think that they are gods people.... Remember to love thy neighbours all of them!!!!!! And if you actually read the bible you know it's not gonna end well for the Jews like I said they are only one tribe the tribe of Judah. The rest it says are scattered living free thinking they are the people's they blended in with... Please go educate yourself first before you talk about things you have no idea about. Lamentations chapter 4 verse 7 now take a good look at he words THIER SKIN IS WHITER than milk. Notice it says skin is whiter than milk? That's white people Buddy!!!!!! And one more thing not all white people are Romans. Nor Esau. you can't be that ignorant. Rome = Japheth and Esau = Shem..... WOW. Three completely different blood lines.....
Nabatean are not ara*bs 🇸🇦🐫😂 they are just Aramaic Jordanian 🇯🇴❤
They were arab stupide and majority of Jordanians are an Arab tribes. Maybe you are from families of Palestine, or a Circassian who has no origin and have Jordanian nationality
@@thinfeelings Jordanian are Aramaic
@@little_petra_jordanian no they are arab tribes
@@little_petra_jordanian
Aramaic themselves migrated from southern arabia.
There is Arabic scripts in Perta , and Arabic it self is a developed Aramaic
Nubia history
Nubia? Huh? The Nabateans lived in what is modern day Jordan. They weren't Nubians. The were Arabian nomads, and developed the Arabic script.
@@jadis40 Africans make everything theirs don't be surprised lol
Nabateans are pure arabian
@@emperorofmusic6045 According to the Torah, the Nabataeans are the sons of Nabat bin Ismail, peace be upon him... But with modern science and genetics, the Nabataeans are the Arabs of the north who lived in the Levant, Hijaz and Sinai, and after the collapse of their state, many tribes like Lakhm (later the kings of Iraq) descended from them. ) and the tribes of Judham (the largest tribes in the Levant )
@@طايعابومطيع torah is a liard Nabateans are Thamud people and aad and thamud are last existed in Noah time before ham Sam Japheth
How about the rise and fall of Israel or UA-cam !!!!!!
I saw an archeological doc that focused on the flood problem through these passes.
Petra built a series of dams ... earthquakes and failed infrastructure ... allowed the floods common to this area nature given its course. After all, that's how these clefts through massive rock were created, water wearing it all away through the eons. 👵🥱🕯️😏🌜😴😴😴
What was Petra called before that? Petra is Latin?
Nature has a way of healing itself without any help. This basic knowledge has been forgotten.
