| Normally we wouldn't place a North American archeological site onto Nabataea.net but this site caught our attention since it was located so close to the most northern Thamudic inscription found in North America. (along the banks of the Colorado River). (See How Far did the Nabataean Explorers Reach?) The ancient Pueblo Dwellers of America were different from all of the surrounding tribes. Their homes, their pottery and their lifestyle was different from everyone else's. So a team organized by Nabataea.net visited Mesa Verde in 2006 to see just how the Pueblo Dwellers compared with the Nabataeans, and if there was any evidence of contact between these two civilizations. Check out the photos below to see if you agree with what we concluded. |

| Both were merchant tribes. |
| Both loved secluded, protected desert locations |
| Both had similar water collection systems |
| Both had similar thin red pottery |
| Thamudic inscriptions demonstrate that Nabataean exploers past near by the Pueblo Dwellers. |
| Timeline similarities: During the 'Basketmaker I & II' periods of the Pueblo Dwellers (AD 1 - AD 400) they lived in open country. However, the Basketmaker III period shows sudden change, (AD 400 - AD 700). Pottery was developed, accurate weaponry developed, pithosues established, and a sudden interest in merchant activity began, followed by the development of Pueblos, and hidden housing. Did contact happen between these civilizations sometime around 200 - 300 AD? |
| While we realize that this is all pure speculation, it is interesting to consider. |
