The ancient world is so fascinating. It seems so unreal yet they existed.

PLAY ASSASSINS CREED ORIGINS AND GET THE REAL EXPERIENCE OF ANCIENT WORLDS
and the interesting fact is that we only know the portions of it, since it was not common to record things at the rate like today, where everything is being recorded.
The ancient world is interesting but their level of social development, technology, understanding of the natural world, values, and quality of life were all pathetic compared to the society we live in today. Don't take for granted what a fantastic time it is to be alive today.
It’s crazy how much stuff is actually in this world we’ll probably die never knowing or experiencing in this life.

Over the last year I've decided to take the time to learn a lot more about geography and different cultures. And the more I learn the more how much the world really has to offer.
There are many things on this planet you'd think only exists in a fictional fantasy world - it's beyond fascinating.
One of the craziest things I have ever seen with my own eyes. Truly magical.

Take me with you!
How do you not know how much times you have been to a significant place? If I went to say the great pyramid of Giza 12 times, I would say 12 times, because every time I have been there always been a wonderful experience. I'm not trying to be mean, I am simply pointing out an observation and asking about it. Oh and, when you say every time you go there it feels more monumental, what do you mean by that? Are you saying it as an array as individual experiences or a built up individual experience (of something [petra]) that gets better each time.
Beautiful. Along with little Petra. Jewels. Lucky to see them two years ago. A must see. Jordan was so chic and friendly.
I have been to Petra & it is absolutely beautiful also near by is little Petra which was the gateway to Petra for the traders.

Id recommend wearing a mask because it smells like horse poop there lol
Welcome to my beautiful country, Jordan🌹🌹🇯🇴🇯🇴
This is just fascinating, I'd love to go there absolutely amazing
أهلا وسهلا
Not first, but more importantly: thank you for the upload. I'd heard of Petra, but never knew why it was abandoned before. I thought it was just a monument, not an actual city. So I learned two interesting things this morning.
The Book of Obadiah mentions that Yahaweh destroyed Edom/Petra with fire, for their crimes against the Israelites.
Henry Boleszny good job
The Roman empire disturbed the commercial routes then they captured the city, after that Petra disapered from history.
Petra made by Arabian people their name is (tamowd ) they were the greatest people of all times . A prophet came ask them to believe in God but they doesn't believe . So almighty God destroy them and wipe them from the earth so they became a lesson to other civilization to believe in God . Not because they kill jwes
@@qdalaien no the Quran talks about Petra’s downfall. Allah (SWT) got angry that they killed a gigantic camel which was a miracle for the people of Thamud to follow Prophet Saleh because they worshipped idols. Eventually Allah (SWT) caused an earthquake and Petra was no more, the greatest architects in history destroyed by their creator.
the engineering is a miracle.. such a thoughtful engineering and they had a vision for the future also... after watching the video i wish to visit the place once i get the chance... petra is a beauty...
Marvelous beyond what we can imagine!!!

Amazing place to see in real life, just visited last month. It’s huge 😱
Can tell from your pfp
The reason it was huge was because the people of Thamud were giants.
Which is bigger? Petra or Hegra?
@@rrsharizam Petra but Hegra’s remains are scarce meanwhile Petra isn’t
I’ll be there in 6 weeks!!!

I came here after watching video on maidan Salih in Saudi Arab. These places are amazing.

i love Petra.. I will go there one day
I'm amazed more people don't bring up the fact how familiar the architecture is.
Then again, it will lead us to the modern day descendants of Esau who currently rule the world.
There is no coincidence. All praises to the Most High. 👏🏽
You know it’s kind of heart warming to see an ancient city just peaceful left rather than violently tooken
I agree, however, most of its contents have already been taken by the museums leaving only the monuments, temples and the landscape unscathed.
@@sui_generis1The thief West, especially Britain, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire, stole many things from Jordan, not just Petra.

Mashallah Petra is pearl of Arabic civilization.
lazer tag
Yet belly dancing originated in the Middle East.
Every muslim should read Al A'raf 73-79. Modern history: Nabatean kingdom was conquered by Roman before perished by earth quake.
The influence is totally Greek and Roman
@kostas T.S.S there is the same building in saudia arabia.
Search al ula in saudia arabia.
The greeks never reach it.
@lazer tag even Christian women cover like nuns Catholic orthodox and judaïsme biblique too. Ancient arab pagan . Women were not cover

like this straight lines ?
""Al-Quran; [[Do you build a

Perfectly fit for Petra.
Surely they were Thamud

@@shahidachoudhury6925 thamud died instantly due to a calamity but petra was abandoned over a certain period of time. furthermore, thamud were the third civilization but petra is less ancient compared to so many other civilizations e.g. Egypt, Indus valley, sumer, etc
It is my dream to visit Petra in Jordan some day, since my first name is actually Petra. Just a mere pebble, not a rock, though.
Truly magical ❤

The Arab civilization was great, especially the Nabateans and the Sheba civilization in Yemen
And dilmun and magan civilizations are of the greatest yet forgotten and ignored civilizations
Persian*
@@doncorleone9280 There is no link between Petra and the persians, the nabataeans were Arabs, there is also academic consensus on this. In the video we talk about the persians because they were so in awe (just like the Greeks and the Romans) in front of the work of the Nabataeans that they decided to give it a nickname.
Dude these are not tones , it is palaces ,used for kings and royalty's and rich citizens, and it was used back before the clime change, So it has a huge plants cover and a lot of different types of birds and animals and a lot of water sources , and FoR GoD SicK the Nabitains were sheepers and farmers they wouldn't been able to built an engineercal miracle that would last for 2000 years in a hidden place between the mountains , and there is no evidence that connect these buildings with any other ancient buildings in the world , it's a unique ancient site and it could be +11,000 years old , all i'm saying this engineercal concepts might be the only evidence left from that time period
Then Islam happened!

Fascinantno, prelepo.
Petra es magnifica
Its funny how we assume that 1000s of years ago, human being were less smart than today.
But if we think twice 🤔, can any of us carve perfectly crafted houses in mountains without laser stone cutting technology?
This is truly a remarkable structure which requires in depth planning and precision in architectural insight.
1000s of years ago human beings were like:
"Hmm? Strong foundation, earthquake proof...lets turn that mountain into a house"
21st century human beings are like:
"lets climb the mountain and hope we don't fall to our death"

❤🇯🇴❤ Indeed, now we understand how important Jordan is. Petra was the original Mecca. The Temple of Dushara just like Shiv mandir had a Navagraha counter where the nine idols of stone were consecrated and worshipped till 713 when the 2nd Islamic civil-war and earthquakes forced Muslims to shift their Kaaba location to present day mecca in Saudi Arabia. Petra was also the place where Abraham left Ishmael and his mother Hagar in the Valley of Nabatean tombs and temples. The mountains are Saffa and Maruwa. These mountains also had water-ways(ZamZam) carved on them, which provided water to in-coming caravans, camels as well as the resident people of Petra. Basically Quran describes Petra as Mecca...with orchards, wine-yards and olive trees. Also the Qibla of AlAqsa mosque and the Dome of the rock itself is oriented towards Petra. Which meant Petra was the most important city from the ancient times. Thanks to researchers like Dan Gibson, watch his videos "the sacred city".
not true original mecca is in mecca
Kabbalism?
You understand from your background that Petra is not Arab, it is Nabataean Jordanian. The Jordanian Nabataeans are not Arabs. They have their own language. A Jordanian youth explained and spoke it.
