Piha ka honua i nā mea pohihihi kahiko, e waiho ana ma hope o nā nīnau he nui ʻole i pane ʻia, a aia kekahi o lākou i loko o Ioredane, ka home o ka pūnaewele archaeological kaulana o Petra ʻo ia ke kapikala ʻo Nabatean e pili ana ma kahi o 300 BC.
Ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kiʻekiʻena kiʻi paʻi kiʻi, ua kiʻi ʻia nā mea kālaiʻike i kahi malihini he 150-km-lōʻihi ka lōʻihi pōkole a me ka laulā ākea i hoʻohiolo ʻia a puni ke awāwa neoneo o Ioredane, a i kēia lā ua kaulana ia ʻo "Khatt Shebib."
ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona o ka pā pōhaku Khatt Shebib e hōʻike nei ʻaʻole paha i hana ʻia no kahi kumu pale. Ua hōʻike mua ʻia kēia pā pohihihi i Ioredane i ka makahiki 1948, a mai ia manawa, ua nui nā hoʻoikaika ʻana akā ʻaʻole maopopo ka poʻe archaeologists no ke aha a i ka wā hea i kūkulu ʻia ai ka Wall o Khatt Shebib, a ʻo wai paha ka mea nāna i kūkulu i kēia ʻano kahiko ʻano ʻē. .
Ua hoʻonui ʻia ka paia ʻo Khatt Shebib mai ka ʻākau-ʻākau a i ka hema-komohana a loaʻa nā ʻāpana i kekahi mau wahi kahi e hele pū ai nā pā ʻelua i ka ʻaoʻao, a ʻo nā ʻāpana kahi e hemo ai nā paia.
I kēia mau lā, aia ka paia i loko o kona ʻano neoneo, akā i kona manawa, kū ka pā ma kahi o 3.3 kapuaʻi ke kiʻekiʻe a he 1.6 wale nō kapuaʻi ka laulā, e hōʻike ana ʻaʻole paha i kūkulu ʻia ʻo Khatt Shebib e pale aku iā ka pūʻali koa o ka poʻe hoʻouka.
Eia nō naʻe, ua kūkulu ʻia paha ka paia ʻo Khatt Shebib e pale aku i nā ʻenemi hoʻoweliweli e like me nā kao pōloli a me nā holoholona ʻino ʻē aʻe ʻole maikaʻi.
Wahi a nā archaeologists o Aerial Archeology ma ka papahana ʻo Ioredane, ʻo ka noho ʻana o ka mahiʻai kahiko i ke komohana o ka paia Khatt Shebib e hōʻike ana ua lilo ka hana pohihihi i palena ma waena o nā ʻāina mahiʻai kahiko a me nā wahi mahiʻai o nā mahiʻai nomadic.
Pohihihi paha ʻaʻole, e like me nā kahua mōʻaukala kupaianaha ʻē aʻe, ʻo Khatt Shebib kahi mea hoihoi loa no ka huakaʻi archaeological o Ioredane. No laila inā makemake ʻoe e kipa i nā wahi mōʻaukala, hiki iā ʻoe ke kau i kēia pūnaewele archaeological nani ma kāu papa inoa pono-ʻike.
