Make videos about ancient Canaan, Israel, Judah, Moab, Edom, Philistine, Ammon, Babylon, etc.
Make videos on indian history too
AWESOME VIDEO, its becoming common believe today that arabs didnt have civilizations before islam so thanks for showing the world our unknown histroy
Didn't Herod Antipas go to war with King Aretas IV of Nabatea?
Please post the ottomans series waiting eagerly
I love this format of 20 min videos about lesser known civilisations.
Some of the best content YT has to offer atm.
I agree
"And that is a legacy more fragrant than all the incense in the world".
What a beautiful quote to end the video!
The scriptwriter should get a raise from this video.
"The Nabateans will always be an example on how to forge beauty in the harshest of terrains, and how to prosper and flourish autonomously in a land of empires. And that is a legacy more fragrant than all the incense in the world."
Damn, that's deep.
I wonder if Israel claim that West Bank and North Israel always belong to them since Kingdom of Israel or being to them 3000 years, but 2000 years they do not control from Roman-Eastern Roman/Byzantine(with in vassal Ghassanid Arab Christian kingdom), and Arab Caliphate Empire(Dynasty Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid of Baghdad, Fatimid, and the last is Abbasid of Cairo, but power under Ayyubid and Mamluk Sultan, until 1524, and Caliph transfer to Ottoman Turkish, that why Ottoman have 2 titles Sultan and Caliph while Oman, Morocco etc was just Sultan or Emir/Prince, Sultan mean Authority, it's like Shogun and Emperor of Japan, Shogun have power and rule, Emperor jus become head of state/empire and ceremonial), for 2000 years Jews do not control, rule nor majority population and not even as 2 largest, it was Christian was the 2nd largest after Islam. After Arab Muslim rule, under Caliph Umar, the 2nd Caliph allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem and bring 70 Jewish family to Jerusalem, under Roman, Jews was banned in Jerusalem and nearby region mean Palestine. Muslim help always Jews and Samaritans 2 group of Israelite because not just similarity of Islam and Judaism like not eating pork, no blood, Halaka law and Syriah law, but also circumcision and Jerusalem as holy land, and most important Abraham are the father of the Jews(Israelite) and Arab/Muslim(Ishmaelite), Qedar Confederation and Israel Kingdom next each others, Jews have Jerusalem as capital, Samaritan with Nablus(Mount Gerizim as Holy Site), while Nabateans in Petra, with other major and small city like Avdat in Israel, and Madain Saleh in North Saudi Arabia. if Israel claim 3000 years ago being to Israel why not South Israel which today Negev also included Gaza give to Arab, which belong to them for 3000 years non stop, Ottoman because of Muslim, and also have local governor that rule that region, some province have local King like Crimean Tatars, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia with Beys, Lebanon, Hijaz(Today Saudi Arabia) and Mamluk of Iraq(not include non muslim vassal and autonomous like Romania). so Give back Southern Israel Negev or Naqab in original name to Arabs let Arab native of Negev choose to Joined Jordan, Egypt or Saudi, beter =Join Saudi more stable economy, wealthy and bigger country., or as Independent State as Palestine in exchange of West Bank give to Israel. AND Golan must return TO SYRIA. Most people of US, UK, EU-NATO and Australia do not knw about Negev belong to Arabs for 3000 years(2962 years if wnt more accurate) which unlike Israel do not control the land 2000 years, nothing in Islamic time and medieval time have Jews control Palestine far have Medieval kingdom, that why JEWS DO not have Medieval traditional culture, traditional weapon, bodyarmor, medieval architecture, castle, palace, fort, old city wall, old city gate, citadel, architecture, clothing and Kingdom, that why Jews in Middle east and North Africa used Arab Egyptian, Syrian, Yemeni, Moroccan/Moorish architecture, in Europe used European architecture or Moorish(Islamic Spain, Portugal, Malta, Sicily, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia), in China, Kaifeng Jews they used CHINESE architecture just like Chinese temple and Chinese mosque, in India they used Indian Mughal style or mixed between European, Moorish and Mughal. SO Negev must return to ARABS since Qedar Confederation and Nabateans, with Avdat, Elusa and others site as archaeological proof and historical heritage site.

Check out "fall of civilizations " episode on the Nabatenans. Its fascinating.
I love that channel! I think I've watched every episode at least a dozen times
@@CaptCKernelso? bots don't sleep
@@vapormissile huh?
That's an incredible channel
"Spice must always flow" haha, a good reference to the Dune universe where the Fremen are based on these people.
Pre-Islamic Arab culture is not something that is discussed very often, thank you for this contribution. The Kingdom of Kinda, The Qedarites, The Ghassanids, The Lakhmids, & The Palmyrene Empire would all make great additions to your catalog.
Kudos for the good work, & keep it up! Cheers!!!
It's always good to have more knowledge, learn about forgotten kingdoms in history with Kings and Generals, taking advantage of the theme about desert kingdoms, we hope for a video about the kingdom of Sheba or Axum.
Nabatea was and will still be one of the greatest arab kingdoms of the pre-Islamic era, the people themselves are believed to be extinct but their legacy is still apparent in the pink city (Petra)
as an arab and a Jordanian, watching you spreading the history of our old ancestors gives me chills, Arab kingdoms are underrated and unfortunately not well known so thank you for your effort
Their legacy still lives on today
The Arabic alphabet is a descendant of the Nabataean alphabet
Nabataean architecture (along with Palmyra and Hatra) is considered the direct predecessor of Islamic architecture
@@Faisal-pb5gu thanks for the info, you reminded me of the Phonenians who basically were the fathers of alphabet and the mother of Carthage, these people are believed to have migrated from eastern and southern arabian peninsula (modern-day oman, and bahrain)
@Rakan_Alshouaibat
Lol. No.
They were one of the indgenous people of Canaan in today's Lebanon and Northern Israel.
@@Rakan_Alshouaibat Just don't destroy the statues, temples etc they build.

You should make an episode about the kingdoms of the Suebi and the Visigoths.

Thank you for the video to show the ancient Arab civilization.. The world only sees that the Arabs have a civilization after Islam, not before it.. But there are many ancient Arab kingdoms and civilizations.
So, when Greeks went to war with Nabateans for the bitumen trade, was that history's first war for crude oil?
Probably yeah
Thanks for these vids man, been watching for a few years and they've always been solid
Great vid K&G, obviously a different style but tough to top Fall of Civilizations masterpiece on the subject :)
Really enjoyed learning about this civilization, and the city of Petra too. Another excellent example of why I remain subscribed!
Thank you for the information 🇯🇴
Also, the Nabatean king Aretas IV (spelling)defeated Herod Antipas in a battle. Josephus mentioned the belief that Herod lost the battle due to his execution of John the Baptist.
The funny thing is that Herod himself was ethnically Arab
@@Faisal-pb5gu True
No one cares what fairy tale worshippers think.
@@cegesh1459 That text comes from Josephus, a Judeo-Roman historian not necessarily the bible.
@@Liquidsbacktrue, but his writings are generally considered heavily biased and often treated as suspect/of dubious credibility
Thanks kings and generals for this new knowledge god bless yall
before Nabateans it ws Qedar Confederation, so Israel need to return south israel to Arabs. for 3000 years it belong to Arab, nabateans site famous in Avdat and Elusa in Negev Israel. but no arab used this historical to claim land. only israel did TO CLAIM west bank.
@@safuwanfauzi5014 majority of Modern israelis aren't even native to Palestine. Palestinian DNA traces to Canaanites mostly,while most Israeli's are from northern Europe and Russia,also proven by their blonde hairs and Un-semitic appearances?
@@safuwanfauzi5014 God will decide who will be victorious in this conflict
Great video guys
Another underspoken part of history that I am always interested to learn, thank you!
Been reading more on this culture, glad you guys made a video on it!
Just love the way the camels move on the start of the video.
Suggestion: A video about the Sultanate of Bahmani, one of the most underrated medieval kingdoms of India, almost always remembered as "those guys who fought against the Vijayanagara Empire", and also the first Indian realm to use gunpowder.
I agree
Always an excellent production Kings and Generals. One of the few channels worth the time, sub and Join. In these times of financial uncertainty, fewer and better of best become key. This channel is worth it, it is the few and the better and the best.
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Love these vids! They fit perfectly in with the research we are doing for a board game design. Some suggestions on civs I'd love to learn more about: Carthage, Nubia, Vandals, Frisians, Iberians.
Literally yeasterday i tryed to find something about the Nabateans and Kings and Generals just drop a vid day later👏
Fall of Civilizations has an amazing video on them.
I remember the game Assassin's Creed: Origins had a DLC that was on Nabatean. But I never questioned how historically accurate the DLC was until now. Great video.
nice one guys 🎉
Awesome video
Very interesting, thanks!
Awesome!
Petra is a phenomenal place to visit! Great to hear this story. You missed out the earthquakes that wrecked the city in the 4th and 8th centuries - as thry had lost their trade monopoly, it ended up not being rebuilt
Very informative ❤
Good video about this kingdom!
Amazingly done as always 😊
This was a good video 🙂
I love to learn anything about Petra and the people who inhabited the area.
I've heard it was the original Mecca.
Fascinating stuff.
Thanks for sharing!
Arabian history is very cool i really want a video about delmun (bahrian) ,magan(oman),and various kingdoms of yemen like the legendary kingdom of sheba
My favourites of this channel is that it answers some of the questions that bug me late in the night
Like, what did normal ancient Egyptians and Nubians live like
Or, the lives of the various slaves in Arabic Mesopotamia
Keep it up sir
Cheers
Amazing video and script.
The Nabateans, known for their impressive city of Petra, also had another significant city to the south called Hegra (Mada'in Saleh). This site is located in modern-day Saudi Arabia and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hegra showcases traces of Lihyanite and Roman occupation, which preceded and followed the Nabatean rule, respectively.
One of the greatest scholars to have studied the architecture of the Nabataeans and their architectural history was Judith McKenzie (may she rest in peace): McKenzie, J. (1990). Architecture of Petra. Oxford. I highly recommend this book to those architecture geeks like me out there.
excellent as always
Amazing Vídeo.
Romans: we’ve got you surrounded
Nabateans: I’m gonna pay you 500 talents to fuck off
Mysterious and fascinating culture...
Good vid
When he said nexus point at the start of the video it made me think of that scene from sienfeld where Kramer is lost and calls jerry and reads the street sign wrong so he thinks the same street intersects with itself so he says “I’m at the nexus point of the universe” and I gif a chuckle out of that
Please do one episode on the Lombards! 🙏
Great summary of the Nabataean era! Comprehensive and visually entertaining but it misses two important points:
- The Nabataean script used for writing Arabic and Aramaic eventually gave rise to the modern Arabic alphabet which is still the second most widely used script in the world today. As an Arab people, the Nabataeans influenced other Arabs in the interior even before the rise of Islam and indirectly continued their influence well into the era of Muslim caliphates.
- The video largely ignores the southern half of the Nabataean kingdom located in modern Saudi Arabia. Although shown in maps used for the video, the locations and history do not get a mention. The city of Hegra within that region functioned as the second capital for the Nabataeans after Petra! They conquered the area from the Dadanites to consolidate their control over the spice trade and left many architectural marvels there to this day. Framing them as a Levantine group does not do their civilization justice as they remained intertwined with their Arabian ancestors to the south and flourished in northern Arabia as one contiguous kingdom.
I would love to know more about the inuit people and/or the people from Siberia, the Yakutian, and Nenet people for example.
So much great content and so little time to see it.
As Jordanian from the south
Im so glad you made a video about an arab and Jordanian civilisation
I learnt things from you about our history thats amazing 👏 ❤

A video about Saba would be nice tbh. Would fit since you covered Nabatea and the Himyars already
Next , the macrobians history please sir if you could ❤❤❤ my favourite CZcams channel ❤❤❤
Very interesting people 👏👏👏👏
Great video as always
But What about Al-Hijr or Hegra in Alula is it part of the Nabatean kingdom? Or it's a different kingdom?
Because you didn't even mentioned it
Jordan is beautiful, I was lucky enough to visit Wadi Rum. And Aqaba dduring my time in the Navy
Question: When did the Romans stopped calling the Arabs as Nabateans and replace the word with Saracens instead?
Saracen is first used by the Geographer Ptolemy using the term Sarakēnoí and Arab people in the Northwestern Sinai peninsula. It is also used in the Augustan History as attacking Pescennius Niger in Egypt. After the Rashidun Conquest the term would be used as a general term for the Muslims east of the Maghreb.
@@Liquidsback Thanks for the information!
@@lerneanlion Saracen mean those who don't live in cities
@@starcapture3040 Even more ironic with Europeans using the terms for them in the Medieval era.
@@Liquidsback I still don't understand why they separate them always as each are extremally different from each other. they are the same people with different accents. it is the same as Germans. Visigoth, franks and so on.
Nabataeans from Jordan and their kingdom extended to the Hijaz and Sinai
They are one of the Ismaili tribes
Video about Nabateans! Neat!
Only really know them from Helloween song...
Thanks for this... Do more on West African kingdoms too❤
The people-group vids are always bangers lmao, love to watch
I cant wait for you guys to cover the numidians i think that they deserve an vidoe of their own since they fought both the Romans and the Carthaginians
Hey kings and generals, love your videos. I’m curious to know how you make your maps - I’m trying to teach people how big creators make their content. Thanks!
After Effects and Photoshop
will there be a kingdom of sheba episode?
0:14 for half a second i thought you said "spice and incest..." lol.

Video idea: The Origins of the Ancient Israelites
I love this series of ROme 2 factions I never played because they seemed boring. First Ilyrians and now Nabateans
What a unique people and time period, I always wondered who built Petra, and what they believed in.
Edit: Gonna try to revive them in CK3
They are anoying as hell. Everytime I try to besiege one of their cities, I get attritions because of the freaking deseart before overpowered AI attacks me with 3x times the numbers

If you stick very carefully to the roads in the desert you will not take as much attrition. Or use Arab mercs.

Amazing
Can you make a video about assyrian empire wars next time
I wish kings and general make a video about South East Asian history like Siamese-Burmese wars
Both this video and the Fall of Civ podcast episode on Nabatea don't mention them replacing the Kingdom of Lihyan that layed the groundwork for the Nabataean explosion onto the scene. Is there nothing covering that in historical records?
Interesting video!
Please make more videos related to pre islamic history!
I am curious about the history of mecca as a city.
He did one , it's called pre Islamic Arabia
Fun Fact: The Nabataeans are considered to be one of the first peoples in the Middle East to convert to Christianity alongside the Assyrians and Armenians!
Can you do one on the Asante confederacy
*Yo K&G* 👋👋
*With These videos Done on Red sea states I think it would be nice to see videos on the Cushite State of the Land of Punt*
*And the later Macrobian state in Northern Somalia which was apart of the Barbaria Trading city states in the horn of Africa*
Good to see a playable faction in Total War: Rome II got a worthy documentary.
I will never not love this channel
Please cover “the battle of the forest 1502” pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee no one talks about the small battle enough
Can you please make a video on Judah and Israel before and after the split
I waited and you guys delivered. I really like that this channel covers civilizations and events that are covered by others yet you have succinctly put a better summary.
can you make about aksum
Petra was the main city of the Arabian trade network it seems.
Cleopatra being Cleopatra 🤌
North and South arabia have a very interesting History!
Could you cover the Bantu migration from centra/ west Africa to southern Africa.
At some point
Petra is so amazing a city carved inside of a mountain basically. It’s crazy how they did so much with there Stone Age and Bronze Age tools
Petra is perhaps the most beautiful thing produced by Arab architecture after the Alhambra Palace in Granada
