Rekem is an ancient name for Petra and appears in the Dead Sea scrolls. Pliny the Elder and other writers identify Petra as the capital of the Nabataeans, Aramaic-speaking Semites, and the center of their caravan trade. Evidence suggests that the city was founded relatively late, though a sanctuary may have existed there since very ancient times.
