Petra was once occupied by Nabateans, they were a very industrious people.  The Nabateans prospered from the water cisterns that they built.  They would collect the rain water, and sell it to passing travelers and tradesman.  Because of their dilapidated condition many tombs in Petra have been robbed over the years.  The facades are amazing in Petra, carved in the face of the sandstone mountains, most with Roman influence of the motifs, from when the Romans ruled in Petra.
