Petra is an ancient city which was inhabited by the nabateans. This city was developed around natural landscapes. These people made monumental tombs in commemoration of the kings, to honor their dead, who were buried in these tombs. Time passed, and changes came and this city was forgotten by the rest of the world. Archaeologists are now discovering information about the past of Petra. Petra’s people are considered one of the oldest civilizations for their spectacular ruins.

The Nabateans discovered techniques for using prings for the increase of the population. For the use of stones in constructions, Masons took advantage of the cracks that were easier to carve. The Romans took the city and Petra got a new road along the central market. The street line clearly served as an architectural footprint of Rome. The colonnaded street and gateway symbolizes the political presence of Rome in Petra.
