The Nabataea's built Petra because they believed in sun gods and worshipped them. Sun God Dushara and Sun Goddess Allat. They wanted to impress the sun gods so they built such a detailed city and made history.

Petra was build by Nabataeans as their capital city circa 100 BCE. Their state was laying in the south parts of Canaan, Jordan and northern parts of Arabia from the Red Sea to Ephrates. It was a great junction point for the camel routes from the north and west to south and east through the desert. It was annexed to the Roman Empire at 106 AD when Traian was ruling the state. Petra has been elected among the new seven wonders of the world and was proclaimed by UNESCO World Heritage Site.
