The Nabataeans

The Nabataean civilization has developed strongly in southern Jordan, the Canaan region, and Northern Arabic from the 6th century BC. The Semitic people built a spectacular Petra city, carved into the sandstone cliffs of the Jordan mountain range. The researchers also knew about their talents in the hydraulic field and their complex dam, canal, and reservoir systems that allowed them to develop in a desert. This is a strongly developed civilization thanks to the geographical location that allows them to create a network of ivory, silk, spices, precious metals, gems, flavors, sugar, perfumes, and medicine. Unlike other civilizations at that time, the Nabataeans were not aware of slavery and each contributed to the city's duties.

During the 4th century BC, the Nabataeans left Petra and no one knew why. Archaeological evidence shows that they leave without a rush, which shows that they have not fled before the invaders. It is believed that the migration to the north occurs to find better jobs. Instead of disappearing mysteriously, it knows exactly what happened to Nabateans. They were influenced by the expansion of Rome, ruled, and disintegrated by many cultural events. Therefore, this is a mysterious lost civilization that once existed.
