Big Bad Voodoo Posted October 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2012 http://www.gadling.com/2012/10/09/a-pre-islamic-civilization-in-saudi-arabia/ The Nabataean Kingdom stretched from its capital Petra in what is now Jordan deep into the Arabian Peninsula. It grew wealthy from trading in incense from southern Arabia to the Mediterranean. Incense was used in religious rituals and burials and was vitally important for many cultures, including the Romans. The Nabataeans had a powerful kingdom from 168 B.C. until the Roman Empire annexed it in 106 A.D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
