Asiatic Early Successor expedition against Petra of the Nabataean.
Episode 15, the Nabataeans on the Fall of Civilization channel, describes in 312 BC,
King Antigonus sent an expedition to raid Petra, the capital city of the Nabataeans.
The Nabataean men were away and finding Petra undefended the Greeks seized
as much wealth they could carry.
Returning to Petra and finding its temples and houses looted, the Nabataean
mounted a pursuit gathering more help from the surrounding villages eventually
numbering 8,000 camel riders.
The Greek defeat is recorded by Diodorus of Sicily.
Several points.
The army of Antigonus (II/16a, 320 – 301 BC) does not list the
Nabataean (250 BC – 106 AD) as an enemy as their dates do not correspond.
Changing the date of the Nabataean would not help as the pursuing force are camel mounted.
This leaves the Early Arabs (I/6b, 1000 – 312 BC), the best option.
This list comprise of 5 x Cm, 4 x 3Ax, 3 x Ps.
Fall of Civilisations/ the Nabataeans (42 min. in)
