Icons of the Gods focuses on the religious world of the Nabataeans, which drew upon the religious traditions of many surrounding regions-north Arabia, Edom, Syria, and Egypt. Worship of the heavenly bodies was central to Nabataean religion and figures of the zodiac became popular in Nabataean architecture. Highlights in this section include the two halves of an important ancient Nabataean statue which have been reunited for the first time in more than 1,500 years. The sculpture, a statue of Nike, or Winged Victory, holds atop her head a disk with the bust of the goddess Tyche, the Greek god imported by the Nabataeans, in its center, surrounded by the 12 symbols of the zodiac. Otherhighlights include a monumental 2,100-pound sandstone bust of Dushara, Petra’s primary male deity.
