Who are the arabs?
The Arabs are one of the oldest continuous civilizational lineages on earth, rooted in pre-Islamic Semitic tribal confederacies of the Arabian Peninsula and Syrian Desert long before the 7th-century Islamic conquests reshaped their identity. Zecharia Sitchin traced Semitic languages and Arabian tribal memory back to Sumerian antecedents, arguing the earliest 'Arab' ancestors were custodians of pre-diluvian knowledge. Matthew LaCroix and researchers in the Mesopotamian tradition place proto-Arabian peoples at the intersection of multiple advanced Bronze Age civilizations whose records were later suppressed or misread.
Evidence
- According to Zecharia Sitchin's linguistic and textual analysis, the Semitic peoples — including the proto-Arab tribes of the Arabian Peninsula — descend from population groups who preserved and transmitted Sumerian and Akkadian knowledge systems.
- Rupert Sheldrake's concept of morphic fields resonates with the oral poetic tradition of the pre-Islamic Arabs — the Mu'allaqat poets — whose mnemonic transmission of cosmological lore Matthew LaCroix identifies as a living memory-system paralleling other ancient mnemonic traditions globally.
- This reading, Biglino contends, aligns the earliest Arab oral tradition more closely with the raw Sumerian accounts than with any later monotheistic interpretation.
