Alice Morrison: Arabian Adventures: The Secrets of the Nabateans
Adventurer and broadcaster Alice goes on a quest to reveal the secrets of the Nabateans as part of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society's Inspiring People programme!
About Alice Morrison: Arabian Adventures: The Secrets of the Nabateans
The Nabateans were a great civilisation based in the Arabian Peninsula at the time of the Romans and the Pharaohs. They built fabulous cities of the dead in Petra, Jordan and Al-Ula, Saudi Arabia.
Their day-to-day lives, though, remain a mystery. Adventurer and broadcaster Alice goes on a quest to reveal their secrets. How did they live? How did they pray? What did they eat? How did they become so rich?
She meets the world’s foremost scientists working in the archaeological field, including an archeo-astronomer who reveals a new finding that changes everything.
