The ancient Arabians can be divided into three main groups:

  • Qahtan settles South Arabia later to and to branch into Adnan and replinish the Arabians of the North. They were able survive due to their protected isolation in Yemen for two millenias, Adnan will branch from Qahtan (through Jurhum tribe adoption of Ismail) and they were able to revive the Arabian culture in the near east through the great Qahtani migrations 3rd century AD.
