BABATHA'S STORY

© Orah Buck, ISBN 0-9681733-2-2

The photographs of Petra in south Jordan are presented through the eyes of a young, vibrant Jewish woman of 2,000 years ago as she struggles to survive. The storyline is based on actual documents found by noted Israeli archaeologist Yigael Yadin in 1961.

The images are teamed with Nabataean text printed on a papyrus-type paper and this entity is framed. The storyline is printed on poster card adjacent to the photograph. The Israel Exploration Society has granted permission to use the material in this fashion.
