[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] What about this even older map?: [IMG]https://cdn.zhuanzhi.ai/images/wx/5ac27697ac21a2a985cbdc7855edb50c[/IMG] ^ Note how everything east of the Nile is also classified as 'Arabia' and not just the Arabian Peninsula. I've long noted that Greeks and other IE speaking peoples from the Celts, to the Germanics, and even the Persians and Indians tend to use rivers as borders instead of larger gulfs or lakes. The Persians used the Hindu (Indus) River as their eastern border of their empire with India proper beginning with the eastern banks of that river and the Greeks followed. The same with the western border of Arabia being the Nile River itself. Which is why even in some modern day maps the Eastern Desert of Egypt and Sudan is still called 'Arabian Desert'. [/QB][/QUOTE]
