A book that studies the connections between the decline of civilization and the prosperity of architecture of an empire.
Under the rule of a Governor assigned by the empire, Petra became the capital, growing rapidly like a carriage, kept rushing forward for about a century before that path across the city and reaching southwards to Sea of Red Algae was finally completed. It restored the trade between Arabic, Syrian and Mediterranean ports by reusing the ancient routes once taken by Nabataean caravans.
As a religious city, City of Sela remained unique despite the increasing constructions and paths leading to the outside world.
Ptolemy's palace was the grandest building in the city center.
It was not until Palmyra's growth shifted the focus of all trade that the city began to decline.
Even now, you can still find countless documents about the construction plans back then and transport facilities that are still in use.
