Description: This book captures some of the author's archaeology discoveries in present day trans-Jordan, which was once the land of the ancient Nabataeans who flourished in the first centuries B.C. and A.D. The kingdom of the Nabataeans extended from trans-Jordan across the Negev to Sinai and from Arabia to Syria, controlling Damascus when Paul visited that city after emerging from the desert. Their capital was Petra, "the rose-red city" half as old as time." The deities and dolphins were discovered by Dr. Glueck when, as director of the American School of Oriental research, Jerusalem, he excavated the Nabataean temple Khirbet Tanur, the most complete temple of its kind to be opened up.
