Al-Namari described the Nabateans as light-skinned. There were many more Romans in Arabia than people are talking about. The Romans occupied parts of Arabia for many centuries. That area was called Roman Arabia. Take a look at the area considered Roman Arabia: [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/16/Southeastern_Roman_Empire.PNG[/IMG] Read this: There is evidence of Roman rule in northern Arabia dating to the reign of Caesar Augustus (27 BCE – 14 CE). During the reign of Tiberius (14–37 CE), the already wealthy and elegant north Arabian city of Palmyra, located along the caravan routes linking Persia with the Mediterranean ports of Roman Syria and Phoenicia, was made part of the Roman province of Syria. The area steadily grew further in importance as a trade route linking Persia, India, China, and the Roman Empire. During the following period of great prosperity, the Arab citizens of Palmyra adopted customs and modes of dress from both the Iranian Parthian world to the east and the Graeco-Roman west. In 129, Hadrian visited the city and was so enthralled by it that he proclaimed it a free city and renamed it Palmyra Hadriana.Map showing roman emperor Trajan control of northwestern Arabia until Hegra (actual Mada'in Saleh)The Roman province of Arabia Petraea was created at the beginning of the 2nd century by emperor Trajan. It was centered on Petra, but included even areas of northern Arabia under Nabatean control.Recently has been discovered evidence that Roman legions occupied Mada'in Saleh in the Hijaz mountains area of northwestern Arabia, increasing the extension of the "Arabia Petraea" province.[12]The desert frontier of Arabia Petraea was called by the Romans the Limes Arabicus. As a frontier province, it included a desert area of northeastern Arabia populated by the nomadic Saraceni. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Islamic_Arabia#Palmyra_and_Roman_Arabia [/qb][/QUOTE]"the Nabateans appear to have been very mixed with the Romans.

You need to celebrate as you have now graduated to 3rd grade. ;) Don't forget about the Romans and Greeks in south Arabia too though. :D [/qb][/QUOTE][QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: there is no indication that northern ARabia was occupied by anybody but these BLACKS until the 17th century when Syrian bedouin moved down from the north. [/QUOTE]^^^ you forgot about this blatant contradiction? _________________________________________ [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-29-58.png[/IMG] Yemeni Arab [/qb][/QUOTE]Where's the contradiction. Romans, Greeks, Parthians, Arabs and later Syrians, Iranians and Turks Settled in Yemen makes for bushy- browed, straight haired, Sicilian-colored Arabs with long faces claiming Arab origin and living next to less modified near black Arabs. :confused: Sorry I don't see it. [/qb][/QUOTE]One should not forget, they took along with them slaves from Central Europe. Each and everyone of them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
