Fascinating! Thanks for a wonderful explanation of a subject I had wondered about whenever Petra was mentioned. Side note: Since we are talking Petra, what do you think about Dan Gibson and his claim about Petra being the original Mecca? ("...That is the case here. Dan Gibson, a Canadian historian and author of three books, The Nabataeans (2004), Quranic Geography (2011), and Early Islamic Qiblas (2017), a documentary film The Sacred City (2016), has presented such a case. Gibson has spent 30 years living in Arabia doing on-the-ground research on Islam's geographical, factual history. Gibson's point is that Petra is the original city Muhammad grew up in. He has dozens of facts that support his claim, and they make sense. I will not go further without saying that numerous scholars, both Islamic and Western, vigorously dispute his claim...")
Hello ElEghari, and thanks for viewing so quickly. Yes I have come across this theory before. Not in detail but along my research of both Mecca and the Nabataeans. I haven't dived into the details but will probably do so as I am curious as to the facts that Gibson presents. Thank for sharing though. I am sure a lot of viewers will check out this topic once they read your commentary.
Just shows Brenda that I you have a yearning for a constant improvement of one's self, on a knowledge or self development front, you are living and hence constantly rejuvenating.
👍#15 💖 I’m enjoying your historical sites videos. Thank you for sharing your culture 🙏 My dog PETRA wishes she could give a like as well. 🐕 she put her head up when you said Petra. Such a precious moment to hear her name pronounced the way you say it.
Oh that is really cute. Glad Petra enjoyed the video and her "like" is graciously noted. And thank you for your kind words and it's great having you watch the videos regularly. Thank you for watching and listening about my culture.
@@thekandarichronicles hello, sad news. My beloved Petra has passed away. She was 14 years and 14 days old. She has been on a decline in health, so we were expecting her to go. We have been very sad these past 21 days without her. I’m doing better now, so I’ll catch up the last few videos I’ve missed. 😿
I am so sorry for your loss and the greatest of condolences from not just me but my whole family. You see Petra will never be forgotten by me or by my wife and two girls. Petra now belongs in our memory as well. She owns a story within our family that will always remember her for perking her ears up when she hears the sound of my voice speaking her name. This is precious to us and will forever be. Now apply that to a lifetime with you and I can only imagine the vast and wonderful memories she has created for you and that will be with you in eternity. Be strong, but also, be human and mourn. For me the best way to do this is to remember till the sobs turn to smiles.
@@thekandarichronicles Thank you for the encouragement. I feel like I lost a child. Petra met A Lot of people as she was always with me. She drove in the car more than any doggie we know. She will always be remembered as having a fun loving zest for life. Sending love to your family 🤗 💖🤗
Ive lived for years in Alaska where my household & garden water access, only ran as fast as I did. Loved catching rain water every way possible though as that was definitely a bonus!!
Thank you Sarpo34. Really cool that you like the channel. Under appreciated will in due time evolve. Hard work will make it happen as will support by viewers like yourself. Greatly appreciated!
@@thekandarichronicles don’t doubt it, i share your channel as much as i can 😄 also, is the evolution and spread of the arabic language in the swana region one of the topics you’re planning to make videos on? i am seeing many tweets from americans and europeans (israel supporters) who argue that arabic and the arab identity only grew because of muslim imperialism. this is not absolutely false obviously - but they create the impression that with the muslim arab conquest of iraq, syria and egypt, languages such as aramaic and coptic were ‘banned’ and arabic was imposed with force. it’d be so interesting to hear your research and thoughts on this.
There definitely is a video in the works on the Islamic expansion in the 7th. Addressing the element of Arabs versus non Arab nations and how they developed over the Islamic caliphates. From a language side, that would probably be another angle.
Thank you so much Mr Blue Sky. Appreciate the great feedback. Will look into Nimrod and see how his role and history could plug into my range of topics. Thank you for the recommendation. .
Today everything are monsters of steel and cement... It is amazing how ancient piping was used Anyways, that's a brilliant video. You are a talented writer
You're absolutely correct. What was built back then not only perseveres but is beyond elegance and beauty. Most of modernity's architecture is old and ugly before it is even completed. Thank you for watching and sharing your commentary.
I know the type. As an architect I had an uncanny ability to identify which ones would fail. It not only design but context, composition and quality of implementation.
@@thekandarichronicles I grew up in construction with my dad after Mom died when 2. A critical eye is key. Years later, my dad said I was always correct and that he should have listened to me giggle!
The Romans that did eventually take over the Nabataean kingdom was much later in history. The Nabataeans during their hay day were virtually invincible to attack, but the kingdom did start to fall apart and mainly for economic reasons thereby losing their power and will and that is when the Romans took over during the 1st century BCE. Thanks for your inquiry though. Oh yes, no wells documented per se, but they had natural springs in and out of the city but nothing within city that in isolation could sustain them for long sieges.
I heard archaeologist Dr. Salman Al-Dhaib (سليمان الذييب )say that the Kingdom of Dadan is the oldest Arab kingdom, and I believe that we will see even older kingdoms with archaeological excavations. I believe that Mada'in Saleh is a Thamudic civilization, but it was inhabited by the Nabataeans later, and the civilization of Midian the people of the Prophet Shuaib is similar in its urban style to Mada'in Saleh as well, and I will send a video of it while it is on the northwestern border of Saudi Arabia. ruclips.net/video/xixIE0gAnJs/видео.html

In the USA it was revealed long ago that the brand new built public schools, had by design- only a 20 year lifespan!!

They had no wells?? I heard the Romans cut water from them which made them surrender

Some People say the nabateans are arameans
Yes that can be also an interpretation as their language was a mix of Aramaic and Old Arabic.
@@thekandarichronicles than are they arab or arameans
