The Nabateans actually hired architects from Lycia, Turkey. If you look at the Lycian rock cut tombs, they bare a striking resemblance to the Treasury in Petra. You can actually trace the origins of a building, in any given area, by it's architecture.

Nabateans originate from Yemen and what you see in Petra they built and is all over their country. They are talented builders. As noted in the “ Koran Ad & Thamoud & their mighty towers”. They traveled to Madin Saleh, Ula, Saudi Arabia. In the Koran, Islamic holly book, they are Thamoud and Prophet Saleh was sent to punish them for worshiping idols. From Yemen and via Saudi they would go to Petra to trade with the Egyptians, Romans and Greeks. Frankincense & Murr. Which was used for preyers in pagan times. The incense is still found in Yemen but lost value when pagan practices stoped. Prophet Saleh in Islam was sent to them. I travelled to the three: Yemen, live in Saudi and Jordan. I am from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Stunning 16:24 😲😲😲 in Holy Quran: Chapter 26 / Verse 149 تَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتاً فَـرِهِينَ A 1000 years old interruption of the Verse : (And you hew out in the mountains, houses with great skill.) Ibn `Abbas and others said, "With great skill.'' According to another report from him: "They were greedy and extravagant.'' This was the view of Mujahid and another group.) There is no contradiction between the two views, because they built the houses which they carved in the mountains as a form of extravagant play, with no need for them as dwelling places. They were highly skilled in the arts of masonry and stone-carving, as is well known to anyone who has seen their structures.

@courag1Ай бұрын
The reason why Petra survived is that they found a defensible position. The annual raiders coming down from the hills, could not overwhelm them. And that they survived proved that God was with them for a religious perspective. They were very smart, they made a way to survive in time of drought. They did not only build beautiful structures hewn out of the rock, but they engineered their water collection features so that Petra lasted for years. Until of course Islam, in which the name was stolen and exported into Arabia. There is a good reason to keep one’s population ignorant in that they will accept what is not possible because of tradition. The Eastern Orthodox as well as the Catholic Church in Rome, melded the Pagan Winter solstice celebrations into Christianity as people love to party. Who cares that Jesus had to be born in the lambing season as it was the only time of the year that the shepherds would be in the fields protecting the spring lambs being birthed? As Bethlehem was the birthplace of the sacrificial Passover lambs, of course the Lamb of God was born at the same time! For the spiritual among us, this is meaningful to us!

I fell in love with this series a few weeks ago because he does a wonderful job. But it became apparent that Simcha has a cultish interest in these finds - if it is related to his religion, he speaks with a sense of a awe, and his intention is always to prove the Torah right. But it is new testament or Jesus related, the show is filled with relentless jokes, and his intention is to prove that the new testament is wrong. Jesus and the 12 disciples are all Israelites too-so this series is a bit propoganda. Thats fine, it's his show. But it's harder to watch now because Yeshua (Jesus) already evolved the archaic custom of stoning women to death or taking your enemies eye.

@Hebrew42Day2 жыл бұрын
I speak with love bro - 1) if Yeshua truly did what you said he did, he's a false prophet. Deut 13:1-9, Deut 18:20-22 2) the fact is the death penalty is a very serious thing in Torah. Even Talmudic Jews (and I'm a Hebrew of the Qarayim) take the death penalty *very seriously*. It first requires two or three witnesses that agree that the intentional sin was committed. It then requires those witnesses and the accused appear before the judge of the area, *in the land of promise* - and that last bit is important. The judge then has to agree with the accusations of the witnesses, then and only then would they execute the person per YHWH (who does not change Mal 3:6) commandment. But the apocrypha and even the prophets show the danger of judging too quickly. In one such circumstance that's removed from protestant bibles, the book of Judith - it shows two witnesses conspire against a woman, to say she's been caught in adultery. This is likely where the scribe who inserted that story into John got the idea from. It's not in the oldest manuscripts of John, and was likely paraphrasing the book of Judith and ascribing it to yeshua. But he never said or did any of that, as John himself becomes one witness with no others in the NT agreeing with him on anything. Here's what I'd like you to do. Open up your NT and side by side, open up the tanakh and compare scripture to scripture. You'll see they don't correctly quote the tanakh, even with Christian perversions (like making Almah of Isaiah 7:14 a virgin) they don't line up.

So yes Through Abrahams oldest son older brother of Isaac. They left Petra after 70ad out of Fear that the Romans may come after them after destroying Jerusalem, the Temple and seige of Megiddo. Also Herod II Antipas married the Nabotians King's daughter before divorcing her to mary his brothers wife Herodotus. Also many Nabotians were trapped by the Romans when they layed siege to Jerusalem and nobody survived because they were there for the Sabbath in 70ce abd became trapped in the city.
