Ancient History of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)

Did you know the ancient history of the UAE stretches back over 130,000 years? The country now known as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was established on 2 December 1971, but the region has a long history stretching back thousands of years. The UAE is located at the eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula on the Arabian Gulf (also known as the Persian Gulf), making the region especially attractive for ports of trade in the ancient past when the Sumerians of Mesopotamia referred to the region as Magan, one of their most vital partners in long-distance commerce.

The history of the United Arab Emirates is part of the history of the Arab peoples. Arab nationalism. We Arabs are one history

I have not been to a single country within the middle east. I have been to a few other countries. I found your video informative. It did not provide any or enough information on modern day United Arab of Emirates, however, I found that ancient history is sufficient, which is of course what it was about. Perhaps you could include a time frame of the history you are discussing in the actual title of the video. That may draw more interest.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Thank you for your feedback and for watching!

[@anita.747]

You are awesome thanks for info

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Anita! 😊

Hello, I’ve climbed the small mountain of Melehia many times and there are a few caves on that mountain which seems to be habituated many years ago, getting the vibe of cavemen. Do you have any history on those, would be interesting to know from how long ago people been living there. Seems like verrrry long ago. Thanks

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Hi! Unfortunately we currently don't have any content on Melehia, but there should be lots of information on Google.

[@olorin4317]

I’ve fallen down a few Wikipedia holes on this subject. Great overview.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Thanks for watching!

[@user-lx1ez6tf9r]
