Dear sirs,
The Nabatian Arabs settled in Petra as early as the 7th century BC, during a period of a cold spell, as suggested by Brian Fagan, thus the suggested settlement of Nabatians in the first century doesn’t sound right at all! Actually a warming period have started then which allowed the Romans to invade England and the Vikings to settle in Iceland.

I was really happy to see this article. We can learn so much from the past and techniques used long ago, they understood how to farm sustainably and really cared about the land!
An old Celtic method of pest control was to plant with companions!
