The Lost City Of Petra in 9 Min ( Untold Story Of The Petra )

Over a million tourists visit Petra every year, but the beautiful sandstone columns hide a dark and forgotten history. Discover how illiterate desert nomads mastered water engineering to build an impossible megacity, only for it to be completely erased by the Roman Empire and a catastrophic earthquake. In this complete history of Petra, we travel back to 312 BC to see how the Nabataeans weaponized the harsh Arabian Desert to control the ancient world's most lucrative trade routes. From surviving deadly Greek phalanxes to engineering hydraulic water systems that rivaled modern dams, Petra was an absolute miracle of the ancient world. But extreme wealth breeds jealousy. See how the arrival of Roman Emperor Trajan's legions and the apocalyptic earthquake of 363 AD brought this glorious desert capital to its knees.
