Shared passage Q12-Q15

🎧 Passage Audio

Listen to a talk in a history class. Petra is an ancient city located in present day Jordan. It was established as early as 312 BC as the capital city of the Nabatean kingdom. The Nabatean were skilled traders, and Petra became a major trading hub because of its strategic location along caravan routes that linked the east and west. Petras architecture is unique because much of it was carved directly into the rose red cliffs of the region. The most famous structure in the city is known as the treasury, but it is actually a tomb. The city also featured a complex system to manage water, including dams, cisterns, and water channels that allowed it to thrive in the arid region. These advanced water engineering structures were crucial for the survival of its inhabitants, given the low amount of moisture that was available naturally. In addition to its architectural and engineering feats, Petra is significant for its cultural exchanges. As a trading center, it facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas and customs between diverse peoples.
