An ancient civilization...with many secrets of survival, carries on...
Petra the rose red city, one of the 7th wonders of the world, was a civilization that had their own water channels, all the way from the top of the mountains into walls-treated stone storages ground wells. They had gin and wine, and they never get sick in winter. How did ancient civilizations survive, had always been intriguing to me, how they lived, ate, stored food...the Nabatenians..were a mysterious civilization, many secrets remain untold
It’s city carved in stones, the capital of the Nabataeans, was extensively occupied from about the fifth century B.C. to the fifth century A.D., under Nabataean and roman periods, with biblical references (city of Sela), .
Their miracle was in:
Stone sculptures blending in nature, still defying today’s architecture, given ancient tools.The great number of the tombs, their huge size and variety of form, stagger the imagination, and evoke wonder and admiration for the minds and wills of the people who could conceive and bring into being such great and beautiful monuments.
A coinage was introduced, and the names of the kings given on the coins clearly show their Arab origin, such as Aretas, the Hellenised form of Harith, a pure Arab name
One of the problems which was faced and overcome with great ingenuity was that of the water supply. The two springs in the city itself soon became insufficient to supply the constantly increasing demands of the population..eventually, they could afford the luxury of great public baths, to say nothing of the amount consumed in the mixing of mortar and plaster for building. From the springs a channel was cut in the rock to the heart of the city, bringing a continuous supply of beautiful water, which was, however, liable to be cut off in time of siege. To overcome this, vast cisterns were cut in the rock and lined with plaster, and channels were cut in every hill- side, which collected the rain- water as it poured over the rock- face, and conducted it to the cisterns. Everywhere you look you will see these channels, evidence of the care and forethought of the rulers of the city.
