This map is inaccurate.
Neither the Levant nor Mesopotamia were inhabited by Arabs. Southern Mesopotamia was inhabited by Aramaic-speakers called Chaldeans, northern Mesopotamia was inhabited by Aramaic-speakers called Assyrians ([who btw still exist today as a minority and are absolutely not Arab](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyrian_people)), and the Levant was inhabited by Aramaic-speakers called Syrians (who btw were very different from modern Arab Syrians).
None of these groups were/are Arab. Arabs were at best scattered minorities like Turks today are in the Balkans.
It really did start out from a single cell. Just like ♋️
I wonder what happened to all these cultures and faiths
The Arabs call this time as the time of ignorance because Mohammed hadn’t come up with Islam yet
Before the islamic rev…
Wow, I didn’t know Christianity was that big in the Levant back then, especially compared to Judaism.
Everything changed when the fire nation attacked.
Is kinda crazy how fast Islam spread into Africa
Uncomfortable truths about the Crusades.
pretty sure the Hanifist part is also pagan. Hanif religion is very well a minority that lived among these pagan arabs
„Islam erased all those cultures!!“ Just like Christianity erased European Germanic and Celtic paganisms. Big religions tend to erase others, it happened all over the world many times. Both erased other cultures.
Don’t mind me
I want to know more about Bahraini Christianity
Great things Islam did, yup. Religion of peace
Imperialism is only bad when the Europeans do it.
Were Semitic people from Southern Iraq Zoroastrians ?
Where were Mandaeans , who are still found in Southern Iraq and Khuzestan ?
Wherever the Abrahamic religions roam…death, erasure, and political dominance follows. What a world we could’ve had if we weren’t plagued by these vile ideologies.
Where is Buddhism?? Wasn’t it pretty popular in The Middle East?
Paganism is how people from abrahamic religions call other religions?
Were they talking arabic? why is it called Arabian Peninsula?
Other than Christianity and Judaism, do any of these even still exist?
Hail paganism in all forms its beautiful native religions
What the hell this means by „paganism“?
Oh wow, another post partially related to Islam on r/mapporn? Man I sure hope the comments aren’t gonna be weird
There’s no scholarly consensus among Islamic scholars or secular ones about who the Sabians even are or were. How did you manage to determine their precise location on a map, OP?
What’s with the Christianity in the Arabian Gulf? Any context and information?
Wait, the Jews were there first? Fascinating stuff.
