I am well aware of that but the Nabataean Kingdom never ever included all of Palestine, especially not back in those days. When the Romans conquered Palestine they annexed it from the Seleucids, not the Nabataeans.

According to the home page, the information comes from a handful of contributors, but no accreditation is listed for them.
I would be wary of accepting everything at face value; however, it is a useful tool on a brad scale despite being a bit misleading in the case of the Romans and so forth.
I still prefer to research a specific event or period rather than use such a broad canavs of events - I think it lessens the errors that inevitably creep in.

What a handsome figure of a dragon. No wonder I fall madly in love with the Alani Dragon now, the avatar, it's a gorgeous dragon picture.
