Learn about the varied mountains, deserts, and oases that are nowhere near as empty or inactive as Western explorers might have you believe. We examine the archaeology of Tell Abraq, get scammed by a guy named Ea-Nasir, solve the mystery of Magan (hint: not actually a mystery), and share insights from skeletal remains about community care and compassion thousands of years ago. Disappointingly, we still don't know what Dilmun onions are.\nLinks\n\nLawrence of Arabia (1962) - Theatrical Trailer (YouTube)\n\nThe Archaeology of Prehistoric Arabia: Adaptation and Social Formation from the Neolithic to the Iron Age (via WorldCat)\n\nThe Seafaring Merchants of Ur (Journal of the American Oriental Society)\n\nMeet The Worst Businessman Of The 18th Century BC (Forbes)\n\nAncient Magan: The Secrets of Tell Abraq (Ancient Ports - Ports Antiques)\n\nBefore the Emirates: an Archaeological and Historical Account of Developments in the Region c. 5000 BC to 676 AD (from United Arab Emirates: A New Perspective)\n\nLesley of Tell Abraq (Bronze Age 2400 - 2000 BC) (Sketchfab)\n\nBioarchaeology of compassion: Exploring extreme cases of pathology in a Bronze Age skeletal population from Tell Abraq, U.A.E.
