The Nabataeans, who were later wronged by the Arabs who denied their heritage and impact, were the last significant Aramaic link that successfully transmitted writing, religion, political, social, and civilizational systems, as well as the sciences of agriculture, irrigation, astronomy, and arts to the pre-Islamic Arabs. Their vibrant era, between the second century BC and the second century AD (a period of four centuries), was a new energy and a unique inspiration for the emerging Arab urban centers like Hatra, Palmyra, the Lakhmids, the Ghassanids, and others.

This book attempts to shed light on the epic of the Nabataeans, from their earliest stirrings in Mesopotamia to the faint pulse of the poor tribes in the Arabian Desert. While it primarily investigates their history, it also pays fundamental attention to their myths and arts.
