Petra's extraordinary monuments were indeed "lost" to Westerners for
over 500 years, but the site has been continuously inhabited since the fourth
century B.C.E. Desert traders called the Nabataeans settled
in an arid valley in present-day Jordan and turned it into a fertile oasis, a
sculptural masterpiece, and a center of world trade.
This Special Collection introduces the historical, technological, and
cultural crosscurrents that combined to create a civilization that thrived
in peace for over a thousand years. Resources include a guide to the
Petra: Lost City of Stone
exhibition and additional activities for your home or
classroom.
