NO PROOF CONTINUES.

Well when you our dear iam visit the Dept of Arabic and islamic studies at Hebrew University ask them about 'En 'Avadat inscription that was discovered in Israel and it is in Arabic and Aramaic and is dated 88CE to 150CE and do you think that it was also made up? Oh and ask them about Qaryat al-Faw inscription dated BCE? But remember no cockamamie stuff or they will laugh at you I promise you

># I don't have to ask those questions of anyone -

Why? Oh you are afraid that you will discover that your little cockcamamie theories about the Arabic language and the Arabs are bogus? Oh and ask them if they agree with Resto and Hoyland that we have "Arabs" as early as 900BCE! Oh do not tell them about your cockamamie 500BCE because they will think that you are ignorant

Avdat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is no connection with Avdat and Arabs, so stop presenting far fetched connections when you have no proof of your own:

Avdat (Hebrew: עבדת‎, from Arabic: عبدات‎, Abdat), also known as Ovdat or Obodat was the most important historic city on the Incense Route after Petra between the 7th century BCE and the 1st century BCE. It was inhabited by Nabataeans, Romans and Byzantines.^[1] It was a seasonal camping ground for Nabataean caravans travelling along the early Petra - Gaza road (Darb es-Sultan) in the 3rd - late 2nd century BCE. Avdat was named for Nabataean King Obodas I who was revered as a deity and, according to tradition, was buried there. History

Before the end of the 1st c. BCE a temple platform (the acropolis) was created along the western edge of the plateau. Recent excavations have shown that the town continued to be inhabited by the Nabataeans continuously from this period until its destruction by earthquake in the early seventh century CE.

>they don't impact..

I read this as: you have no answer

And do not impact what? You are and you must padon me a demagogue or big time ghalabawi and no more

>The first thing you must understand is that Arabic never possessed the 'V', nor are those relics mentioning anything which is Arab or Arabic:

Stop this nonsense.

# Its not nonsense. The arabic never contained the V, which says a lot of this language. The Latin also never possessed the V till it got this from the Hebrew. The Latin is older than Arabic.

Oh you got it from wikipedia! Right? and do you know what we call people that do not give credit to their sources? We call them plagiarists!

Yes, in most of their anti-Israel stuff they are wrong: they call Judea 30 CE as PALESTINE - an historical impossibility; this name was dumped on the Jewish homeland in 70 CE.

But in this case they are right. There is no connections with Avdat or Nubuteans and Arabs. Please give this forum a direct proof of ARAB pre-500 BCE and Arabic writings pre-300 CE.
