    1. @viewtransformOct 2024· in “In Jordan, a ‘stunning’ discovery under Petra’s ancient stone”

      For those who cannot travel, the Fall of Civilizations episode 15. The Nabataeans - The Final Days Of Petra has stunning visuals in 4K this video

    2. @pfdietzOct 2022· in “The Moorish invention that tamed Spain's mountains”

      It wasn't in the Sahara, but the civilization at Petra (in what is now SW Jordan) was built around sophisticated hydraulic engineering. It eventually collapsed when earthquakes damaged the system beyond their capacity to repair. Being subjugated by Rome didn't help. this video

    3. @INTPenisNov 2024· in “The Submerged Nabataean Temple in Puteoli at Pozzuoli, Italy”

      I just listened to the Fall of Civlizations podcast about the Nabateans. So I immediately realized why this is interesting, to find a nabatean temple so far away in Naples. this video
