Nabataean Inscriptions

Nabataean inscriptions are ancient texts carved or painted on stone or other materials by the Nabataean people, a civilization that thrived in the Arabian Peninsula from around 200 BCE to 106 CE. These inscriptions often include personal names, religious dedications, or official records, written in the Nabataean script, a form of early Aramaic. They provide valuable insights into Nabataean culture, language, religion, and daily life, and are important archaeological sources for understanding interactions between the Nabataeans and neighboring civilizations.
