Abstract:

Hellenism was a real cultural force in Nabataean Petra's urban planning and architectural products. Petra is a paradigm of our knowledge of how the Nabataeans designed and built their urban settlement. In approaching the city, one immediately notices how they planned the city to maximise and take advantage of the accessible majestic landscape topography. They created an extraordinary metropolis in the city centre and the surrounding sandstone mountains. There are many aspects of the particularity and creativity of Nabataean culture during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. In the Nabataean Pet

Abstract:

As one of the oldest Arab society, Nabataeans had an important role in the development of Arabian thought from the ancient times of history until the birth of the Islam. All kinds of background knowledge that shaped the world of pre-Islamic Arab society contribute to the understanding of the Quran. John F. Healey’s work provides detailed information regarding the history, religion and culture of Nabataeans. The thought that the introduction and examination of Healey’s work will provide important details to the academy in terms of Ancient Arab history has led us to evaluate this boo

Abstract:

Documentation of cultural heritage requires simple, quick and easy to use multi-sensor approaches to determine the state of conservation of monuments and sites. The documentation of a highly weathered architectural heritage such as the Obelisk Tomb is a good example to test the performance integrating multispectral imagery and laser scanning data. The Obelisk Tomb is the first important façade that a visitor sees while entering to the archaeological site of Petra in Jordan. The rich architectural formations carry Egyptian, Hellenistic and Nabataean influences. The damage that was inflicted on

Abstract:

This research aims at shedding light on the Nabataean practices for tombs dated from the early first century B.C. until the beginning of the second century C.E.. The research studies the different archaeological evidences that contain indications concerning the Nabataean habits pertinent to tombs and dead body protection. The author analyzes the different symbols engraved on the tomb facades seeking to reach a better understanding for the function of these symbols in protecting tombs from any violation. Moreover, the paper examines the protection clauses existing in the Nabataean funeral inscr

Abstract:

In 2005, excavations of Tombs 62C and 64A in the area of the al-Khazna/ Treasury monument in Petra, Jordan conducted by the Petra Archaeological Park team, provided important insights into Nabataean funerary practices. Tomb 62C, located beneath the Treasury, contained the remains of at least 11 individuals, including adults and sub-adults, in a subdivided burial chamber. The tomb had been heavily looted, disturbing both the skeletal remains and accompanying artifacts. Pottery fragments and grave goods were scattered throughout the tomb, suggesting prior desecration.

AbstractThe Nabataean monumental rock‐cut tombs in the oasis of al‐Badʿ are the main heritage and tourist attraction of the Madyan peninsula, in the heart of the Neom region in Saudi Arabia. Through an analysis of their architectural and decorative features, this study provides, for the first time, a thorough overview of the 35 tombs in the necropolises of Mughāyir Shuʿayb and al‐Aṣīfir. A multiscalar examination sheds light on the processes used in their realisation, assesses the investments required for their execution and the status of the sponsors, and thus reveals a social and spatial ran

Abstract:

AbstractFour rock‐cut tombs have yielded nine Nabataean inscriptions or fragments of inscriptions, five of which are already published (Nehmé, 2015, pp. 51–52). They were all photographed either by L. Nehmé in 2005 or during the surveys undertaken in 2017 and 2018 by the al‐Badʿ Archaeological Project (Charloux et al., 2021; Bigot‐Démereau et al., 2024). They are presented below according to the tomb to which they belong, the number of which is the one given by the al‐Badʿ Archaeological Project, followed, when relevant, by the number in Philby's Land of Midian (1957).

Abstract:

This paper investigates the applicability of the phenomenological approach articulated by the Nineteenth Century German architectural theoretician Gottfried Semper (1803–79) of ―Cladding as the origin of architecture‖, to understand the surface design of Hellenistic Macedonian tomb architecture. The phenomenological approach to dematerialization in surface design, introduced by Semper, has never been investigated and studied in Hellenistic architecture. Based on Semper criteria, the study argues that Hellenistic architecture of the Macedonian tombs demonstrated a distinctive conceptual f

Abstract:

Religion in Nabataea was a confluence of native and foreign deities and practices which spread across the Arabian desert. Ranging from the worship of betyl blocks to figural sculpture, sacred high places to Greco-Roman temples, priestly worship in sacred places to traveling pocket-sized 'eye-idols,' religious practice adapted readily to the many needs of its people and the cultural heterogeneity which permeated the region. While the concept of a "Nabataean religion" is inauthentic, a general understanding of the polytheistic religious practice within the area controlled by the Nabataean king c

Abstract:

The Khazneh, or Treasury, is one of the most famous buildings in Petra, Jordan. Carved into the rock face of the famous "Rose-Red City," the Khazneh is the first building visitors see after leaving the Siq, the dark 160m long rock gorge which functions as entrance and defense for the city. The Khazneh looms far above the visitor's head and awes them with its rose colored rock and exquisite reliefs of vines, amphorae, and larger-than-life deities and animals. The two story faux temple façade includes Corinthian column capitols and two eagles atop the roof. A depiction of the Egyptian goddess Is

Abstract:

Medusa is a powerful Greek methodological creature that had a face of a woman with snakes instead of hair, her name is derived from the Greek verb μέδω meaning “to guard or protect”, which makes it one of the important decorative elements related to classic funeral forms of art including wreath, light torch, snake and anchor, which all were supposed to protect the dead in their afterlife. The head of Medusa was to be found on different artistic works from Greek and Roman Civilizations, which had their significant influence on the cultural aspects of Ancient Near East
