of their wealth was control over the caravan trade from the Arabian interior
to the coast the capital of the Nabataean kingdom was Petra amounted as
fortress found in southern Jordan the Nabataeans were accustomed to living in
the barren desert and would use this knowledge and the rocky terrain against
their enemies there's evidence in present-day Petra that the Nabataeans
were skilled at agriculture harvesting rainwater and stone carving during the
reign of King arretez the third the Nabataeans controlled Damascus as well
as Cole's Syria the kingdom was ultimately conquered and annexed by the
Roman Emperor Trajan number five I scene II the I scene II were a brittonic tribe

culture the natter fee and culture is rather unique because it supported a
sedentary population even before the introduction of Agriculture on a mass
scale it existed from 13050 to seven thousand five hundred and fifty BC in
the eastern Mediterranean region known as the Levant unlike the barren
landscape of today the Levant at the time of the Nats of feein culture was
mostly woodlands the Nats of fiends settled the location of present-day
Jericho which would make the city the world's longest continuously inhabited
urban area the NAT affines might have been the ancestors of the Neolithic
communities in the region evidence suggests they purposefully cultivated
rye which is believed to be the earliest example of agriculture in history graves
