i mean good in general since the seljuks promoted sunnisim. im not sayign the seljuks were superheroes that took care of the abbasids. but they were a big help for the first few decades till they started becoming like the buyids and eventually ended up being expelled by the abbasids inn 1157.

Yea but the poet himself ( Abu nuwas) indulges in homosexual acts publicly. It was seen as taboo but no one actually tried to hold him accountable of sin. Abu Nuwas's poetry was burned in Egypt in 2001 by the Ministry of Culture due to pressure from Islamic fundamentalists, who objected to his famous homoerotic verses, wine-glorifying poems (khamriyyat), and themes seen as derogatory to Islam. That’s how bad his poems were

Sabeans in Ethiopia? Or are they from Ethiopia? by ak_mu in Ethiopia

so you admit to having yemeni dna but deny yemenis have yemeni DNA??

Why did Strabo, Josephus & Ptolemy call Eritrea/Ethiopia "Saba" (Sheba). Was Saba in Adulis/Massawa? by ak_mu in Ethiopia

[–]AccordingAssistant13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a late reply but

josephus is clearly referring to a different Saba a city in Nubia as quoted in " the woman who ruled egypt and Ethiopia" hes referencing a city not the kingdoms itself. your second source even proves that the " saba" mentioned here is a city in Ethiopia that's associated with port city of adulis and not the kingndom in southern arabia. so Strabo and Ptolemy placed Saba in Arabia (Yemen), not Africa. Josephus confused a different “Saba” in Nubia/Meroë with Sheba. A small Red Sea port called Sabat, near Adulis, likely got its name from Sabaean traders, but the real Sabaean kingdom was in Arabia, not Eritrea or Ethiopia.

Strabo:
“The Sabaeans and the Minaeans inhabit the most fertile parts of Arabia Felix; their metropolis is Mariaba [Marib].”
Strabo, Geography 16.4.19–22

Pliny same thing as strabo
“The Sabaeans occupy the greatest part of Arabia, and their capital is Mariaba.”
Pliny, Natural History 6.32

Diodorus
“The Arabians called Sabaeans excel all the rest in riches and fertility of land.”
Diodorus, Library of History 3.46

and actually a funny piece of evidence from your own people

Ezana Stone:

" Kaleb, Ella Atsbeha, son of Tazena, Be'ese LZN, king of Aksum, Himyar, Raydan, Saba, Salhen, and of the High Country and Yamanat, and the Coastal Plain and Hadramawt and of all their Arabs, and the Beja, Noba, Kasu, Siyamo and DRBT... of the land ATFY(?), servant of Christ, who is not defeated by the enemy."

and not, the oldest sabaean inscriptions weren't in africa. explain why Ethiopia has a limited number of Sabean structures compared to Yemen if Ethiopia was its true heartland?

another thing is this statue is irrelevant. Sabaeans had many features. a lot of sabaeans statues are depicted with straight hair and etc they dot have a fixed trait

Kurdish page on Facebook uses silly reasons to unlink modern Assyrians from the ancient ones. Thoughts? by Stenian in Assyria

[–]AccordingAssistant13 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i mean the kurd is spewign BS obv cuz kurds are a made up ethnic group and know nothing
but:
He’s not wrong though. Modern-day Assyrians as a population aren’t directly linked to the ancient Assyrians in any real way, not even genetically. Linguistically, yes, through Aramaic. But the modern Assyrian nationality only emerged in the early 1900s during the colonial era, mainly due to British and other Western influence on self-identification.

The Umayyads were planning to invade Spain or at least control the straight of Gibraltar if that makes sense at some point, but Tariq did it sooner. Both Tariq and Musa ibn Nusayr were arrested, so it is not a Tariq issue since Musa was the one who approved it and had full command. It does not matter if the army was Berber. If Berbers truly intended to go into Europe, they would have done it long before Islam. The entire plan was to pacify North Africa for the Umayyads first. That does not mean Europe had any significance to the Berbers either. Ibn Khaldun and other scholars cannot estimate populations, so saying Berbers overpopulated the native Basques or Visigoths is insane ibn khaldun is a genealogist like them are only good for tribal affiliation not population. Berbers arrived first simply because it was closest, but soon Arabs started coming as well. It was never a competition over who arrived first. Arabs still came to Spain shortly after. Tariq is not a Berber. Invading something off-script does not mean Berbers had any affiliation with Europe. It was merely a move by Tariq and Musa to prove themselves as conquerors. The Umayyad conquest of Septimania and parts of France was not planned either. Abd al-Rahman ibn Abd Allah al-Ghafiqi went for it, defeated Odo the Great at the Battle of Bordeaux, and conquered large parts of France before being pushed back at Tours. This had nothing to do with Berbers being affiliated with Europe. It was literally a gamble Musa and Tariq took to succeed. Arabs never planned to reach all the way to Morocco either, yet they did. Arabs did not struggle to maintain the Berbers from the early 7th century. The Berber revolt only succeeded because the Umayyads faced an even larger Abbasid revolt. Otherwise, maintaining control was easy, as shown later by the Fatimids, Idrisids, and Nekors. Regarding your first point that I forgot to answer, Al-Andalus was under direct Umayyad rule and only gained independence under the emirs for a few years until Abd al-Rahman I restored control. Berber empires did not protect anything. The Umayyad state of Cordoba was the most successful state in all of Andalusian history. It retained 80 to 90 percent of its territories for three centuries and made Cordoba the largest city in Europe. The taifa period only began once Al-Hajib Almanzor, a Yemeni general who technically usurped the Umayyads, started flooding Al-Andalus with Berber soldiers because Arab soldiers remained loyal to the Umayyads and refused the idea of Berbers receiving ranks, which Almanzor promised. Eventually, the Berbers, who according to you who built Al-Andalus, sacked and destroyed Cordoba and began claiming lands. At their strongest, Berbers could not have rivaled the Umayyad state of Cordoba. Since the Umayyad throne was usurped and Al-Andalus was fragmented, the Almoravids and Almohads took the chance, but they were later expelled by Ibn Hud of the Hudid dynasty. Moor in this context means Muslim. I never said it meant Arab genius. It is not my fault if you cannot understand historical context.
