A Brief History of Petra

1) On the edge of the Arabian Desert, (1) nestled away in the mountains south of the Dead Sea, Petra was the glittering capital of the Nabataean empire. It came into prominence in the late first century BC through the success of the spice trade. Among the most remarkable of all Nabataean achievements are the hydraulic engineering systems they developed including water conservation systems and the dams that were constructed (2) to divert the rush of swollen winter waters that create flash floods. The town grew up around its Colonnaded Street in the first century AD and by the mid-first century had (3) witnessed rapid urbanization.

2) According to tradition, in 1200 BC, the Petra area was (4) populated by Edomites and the area was known as Edom ("red"). Before the Israelite incursions, the Edomites controlled the trade routes from Arabia in the south to Damascus in the north. Little is known about the Edomites at Petra itself, but as a people they were (5) known for their wisdom, their writing, their textile industry, the excellence and fineness of their ceramics, and their skilled metal working.

3) The next chapter of history belongs to the Persian period, and it is posited that during this time the Nabataeans migrated into Edom, (6) forcing the Edomites (7) to move into southern Palestine. With Nabataean rule, Petra became the center for a spice trade.

4) In 64-63 BC, the Nabataeans were conquered by the Roman general, Pompey, whose policy was (8) to restore the cities taken by the Jews. However, he retained an independent Nabataea, although the area was taxed by the Romans and served as a buffer territory against the desert tribes.

5) By 313 AD, Christianity had become a state-recognized religion. In 330 CE, the Emperor Constantine established the Eastern Roman Empire with its capital at Constantinople. The inhabitants during the Byzantine Period recycled many standing structures and rock-cut monuments, while also (9) constructing their own buildings, including churches - such as the recently (10) excavated Petra Church with the extraordinary mosaics. Among the rock-cut monuments they reused is the great tomb or the Ad-Dayr (known also as 'The Monastery'), which was (11) modified into a church. With a change in trade routes, Petra's commercial decline was inevitable. An even more devastating earthquake had a severe impact on the city in 551 CE, and all but brought the city to ruin.

6) As one of the most spectacular sites in the Middle East, Petra has long (12) attracted travelers and explorers. During the 19th century, the site was visited and documented by several Europeans, after J. L. Burckhardt’s initial visit. Petra, which means "stone" in Greek, has survived through the ages because almost all of its "buildings" were carved out of solid rock walls. It is perhaps the most spectacular ancient city (13) remaining in the modern world. Architectural remains now visible at Petra indicate a thriving city, however, despite almost 100 years of excavation, only one-percent of the city (14) been investigated.

7) Much of Petra’s fascination comes from its setting on the edge of Wadi Araba, part of the Great Rift Valley. The rugged sandstone hills form a deep canyon easily protected from all directions. The best access to Petra is through the Siq, a winding, often narrow valley which suddenly opens upon the most impressive of Petra’s monuments, al-Khazneh ("the Treasury"). (15) Carved out of the mountain and over 40 meters high, it was a royal tomb-but legend says that pirates hid their treasure there, hence “the Treasury.”
