Petra In ancient times, the city was called Rekem and is mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is believed to have been built starting in the 6th century BC by the Nabataeans, a Semitic people, and was their capital until 106 AD, when it became part of the Roman Empire, becoming the capital of the province of Arabia Petraea. The city continued to flourish in the following centuries. It recovered from the 8-9 Richter earthquake of 363 AD, as well as from a subsequent catastrophic flood. Remains of ancient writings from the 6th century describe the city as a settlement with ca. 30,000 inhabitants, in good working order. It was irreparably destroyed in the earthquake of 748, after which it never recovered, the population emigrating to other areas. Its ruins became a curiosity in the Middle Ages, being visited by Sultan Baibars of Egypt in the 13th century. The first European to visit and describe them was the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, in 1812. In 1985, Petra was included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. It is also one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.[5]
