Mada’in Saleh was known as Hegra by the Nabataean people who carved its magnificent tombs
into the golden Quweira sandstone outcrops. They were also known for their incredible familiarity with
the desert and their ability to fade into it to evade enemy tribes. Their system of hidden cisterns dug
deep in the interior provided water for their livestock and their people. The real cause of the success of
the Nabataeans, however, was control over much of the spice trade. Many spices from southern Arabia
were brought up to the north along trade routes to be purchased by people around the Mediterranean and
in the Near East.
The details on the entrance portals and the smooth surfaces of its 111 tomb façades reflect the great
skills of the masons of the Nabataeans’ time. The splendor of the natural setting here must have
reminded the Nabataeans of their capital, Petra. It is no wonder that they chose this very spot to build
their second city, Hegra, because it was a crossroads where the major north-south incense route
intersected a road from the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf.
The ruins of the town of Hegra lie on the plain some distance from their tombs. The buildings, still
for the most part unexcavated, were made of unimpressive sun-dried mudbrick. What is known about
Hegra comes primarily from the tombs, the many inscriptions carved into their façades, and references
found elsewhere. The tomb façades are finely carved and fairly uniform in their style. A portal in the
center of the façade provides the entrance to the tomb. Inside are recesses carved into the walls where
the bodies of the deceased were placed.
【題組】34 From which of the following sources do we learn about people’s lives in Hegra at that time?
(A)The spices they sold. (B)Their enemies.
(C)People who live there now. (D)The words carved in the tombs.
