A History of the Arabian Peninsula in Ancient Times

The beauty of history lies in the fact that, among the sciences produced by humanity, it is the one that most explains man to man, an explanation that draws inspiration from the old and extracts from it what suits the present, and an explanation that reads the present and takes from it what suits the future. Several factors have combined to place it among the branches of human knowledge sought by everyone who desires knowledge and more of it. The first of these is the region whose history the book covers, given its location midway between the lands of the East, its prominent role in human lineages as an influential force, and its evident influence on the economic and communication lines of this influential region of the world. The book is divided into sixteen chapters, beginning with the most precise questions in the archaeological studies of this region and the states that succeeded one another there, such as Saba, Ma’in and Hadramawt, as well as the groups that inhabited it, such as Midian, Ad and Thamud, and kingdoms such as Al-Hira, the Ghassanids and Kinda, all in a historical framework marked by richness of presentation and fluency of language. The book as a whole deserves to be owned by any educated reader, specialist or non-specialist, because it sheds light on a region that has not previously received in-depth study and research.
