  • The Nabataeans worshipped powerful female deities and built lavish shrines in their honor. Could this religious order be a clue into the elevated status of women in Petra?

    Not only the Nabateans but all Arabs worshipped Al-Uzza, Al-Lat and Manat
    Actually the original idols of the three deities were kept in Makkah alongside with other 357 original idols of all the deities of all the Arabic tribes
    However these 3 deities had an important status because out all the deities there it was them +Hubal who were kept inside of the Kaaba

      @@shareem1779Yes. You see Historically the Kaaba predates Islam it actually has been there for at least a thousand years before Islam and even before Mohamad’s tribe Qureish even existed Makkah was always the most sacred city in Arabia and many Arabian tribes had fought for it and many had ruled it including important ones such as Jurhum and Khuza’a, and all Arabs before Islam believed that it was Abraham and his Son Ishmael who built it (yes the knew about them since Arabs also are Semites and the patriarch of Adnanites(including Qureish and Khazā’a) is by both Arabic Jewish traditions believed to be Ishmael, you see Arabic Polytheism is one particular type of Polytheism and even though Muslims burned many Pre-Islamic records from the Era of “Al-Jahiliya” or ignorants “which is the term with which Muslims describe Pre-Islamic Arabs) we still know that Arabs used to bea hybrid between Monotheism and polytheism you see the believed in the God of Abraham who they called Al-Lah which might mean The “the God” “with a doubled definite article” and they believed in his oneness and that no one was equal to him but they also had other lower ranked Gods called Al-aliha plural of Ilah and they believed them to be mediators between humans and the Major God Allah it was like a feudal monarchy with a king who is the sole ruler but with other dukes and princes and each one of Aliha had a specific role or domain for example the highest ranked one Hubal was the God of divination, rain and war and his consort Manāt was the Goddess of fate, fortune, time, death, and destiny.. etc. These two wigh Al-‘Uzzā and Al-Lāt were the most venerated Aliha and they were worshipped by all the Arabs and unlike other Gods who were placed around the Ka’bā these three were placed inside it and all Arabs from all the tribes and from all around Arabia would go on an Annual pilgrimage to them, and the month of pilgrimage for the Arabic pagans then was the same as the month of pilgrimage for Muslims today and btw today is the first day of that month, it’s called thil-Hijja which means “that of the pilgrimage”.

      @@shareem1779 Muslims do believe this EXCEPT one major thing, the Kaaba is not pagan, it was built by Prophet Abraham by the order of God (Allah) to perform pilgrimage around it as an act of worship, the first one to perform the ritual of going around the Kaaba was done by Prophet Abraham himself, and Arabs continued to follow this tradition of their forefather Abraham except they then attributed partners to Allah and made up their own false deities, gave the one and only creator sons and daughters and whatnot, these were the pagan Arabs between the time of Abraham and Prophet Muhammad which was thousands of years. Prophet Muhammad returned the Kaaba to its non pagan origins by removing all the other deities around it and inside it and restored the worship of only one God (Allah) without any partners.

    it's very commonplace that cultures which started out matriarchal and with women in all powerful positions were turned into misogynistic societies where women had little to zero rights. At the same time, female deities were replaced with male ones. Thus, the power shift was not only societal, but "justified" from a religious angle.
    Note how all big religions left today usually have large parts of their doctrine devoted entirely to the denigration of women.
    Of course, there were also some cultures where both sexes were pretty much completely equal (Ancient Egypt, for example).
    There will never be any equality again though as long as the noxious abrahamitic nonsense religions aren't abolished.

    Those Godesses were inside the Ka'bah in Mecca before Islam. They were deities worshipped by the Arab tribes of Quraysh until the conquest “of Mecca by Muslims led by Muhammad in December 629 or January 630 AD (Julian), 10-20 Ramadan, 8 AH. The conquest marked the end of the wars between the followers of Muhammad and the Quraysh tribe.” [according to Wikipedia]. There is a scene illustrating well that transition in faith in the movie “The Message” 1976.

    As a depiction of a matriarchal culture the Smithsonian Institute have failed miserably: The matriarchs are missing. All the women are 20 years old: It smacks of a schoolboy fantasy for group sex (with his big sisters) by torchlight. It's childish in the extreme and of such amateurish quality and arrangement, I despair. The male narrator makes it seem like a commercial for laundry detergent. Whether or not the "power and status" of women was or is recognized by men has no relevance. The power and status of women is timeless and all encompassing.

However, it would appear that there is other evidence to back up their claims here, although they do not discuss it in such a short video.

    Just because they had female god doesn't mean they were more important. I mean look at Hinduism, their main god is a female but look how they treat their ladies. Look at history, back then before Islam, in pre-Islam Arabia, it was common place among many to bury their baby daughters alive. It was said that the first man to do so, the man who began this tradition, was named Qais ibn Aasem al-Tamimy who when fighting with another tribe, his daughter was captured. According to the rules of war of that time, she 'married' a man from the tribe that won that battle. Some years later when a peace treaty was made with the tribe Qais found his daughter and wanted her to return back home with him. Instead she chose to stay with her husband. When this happened Qais made an oath that if he ever had another daughter he would bury her alive. And of course with time he did, and he buried her alive. And this tradition continued with the pre-Islamic Arabs then onwards.

      hotxhotguy matriachal goddess is a sign of power. In India pure Goddess worshippers consider the male to be inferior, n the priests were males themselves.... Some cults married the goddess to their male deities while others worshipped their sons n daughters more. But the principal deity if male, the females were at the gods feet while those that considered women equal had them positioned by their side n over them.
      In most European cultures, female deities were of beauty, fertility n grace but India has numerous Goddesses riding for battle which meant females did fight alongside males until Greek Roman n Persian civilization influence of purity from females entered India, the females had much right over the males n were much more powerful. So its the west that brought female servitude into India.
      Most Muslim cultures too have female powered dynamics but it depends on local culture not Islam as per.... Look at Afghanistan Bangladesh n India, Arabic Islam was a huge downer from local Islam mix with regional faiths.

      No... Allah is the God of Abraham. The only reason why the Arabs believed in Allah was via prophet Ismaiel(as), the son of prophet Ibrahiem(as). The name "Allah" comes from "al-Ilah" or "The-God", but in one word/name. Thus, Allah.
      Even though "Al-lat" may sound like "Allah", it roots are different. Btw, Allah is no male, neither female... So, there is no male or female version of Allah's name, or female goddes version of Allah(swt). And i seek refuge with Allah from this shirk. Allah has no gender. The only reason why "He", "His", "Him", God(instead of goddes), and more "masculine" words are used when speaking about Allah, is because such masculine words can stand for a male being, but also a genderless being.
      If i say "she took the diamond", you can be certain a female took the diamond. But if i say "he took it", it could be a male being that took the diamond. But it could also be a genderless being like an angel or something that took the diamond...

For example in Syria there are Chechens and in Lebanon there are tons of armenians, and in Iraq there are kurds and turkmen. BUT there are also full semitic arab tribes who lived without mixing with NON-arabs. There are still tribes in Levant and Mesopotamia who didnt mix with any ethnic, they Even look different and unique from their neighbours, they still look like ancient arabs. They are tall, white/pale and light eyes and hair. While gulf arabs are heavily mixed with black/africans (because of slavery), South asians and persians(funny because they hate iranians). Just look at the phenotype is enough to tell. So nabataeen are closer to arabs in Levant and Mesopotamia, and dont really have alot in common with modern gulf arabs.
