Description

In the deserts of Jordan, a city lies hidden for centuries in a valley of rose-red stone...

In this episode, we look at one of the most peculiar stories of civilizational survival to come down to us from the ancient world, the story of the Nabataeans. Find out how these once humble traders rose to become masters of the desert sands, and to defy empires. And discover what happened to finally bring down the empire of Nabataea.

you insist calling the Nabataeans Barbarians despite that they were great builders.

It is extremely difficult to find a history podcast that matches these three preferences of mine: 1.) Single narrator format that paints a clear picture of the historical timeline, rather than a lazy Q&A with some academic guest of the week that bounces around the timeline 2.) High quality sound design and gorgeous musical accompaniment 3.) Willingness to explore obscure hidden gems in history, especially those civilizations so often underrepresented from the East Paul Cooper, your podcast is the best I have ever found. Thank you for each lovingly crafted episode!
