Question: early Arabs
« on: January 03, 2018, 12:13:00 PM »
Apart from the Assyrians and Hebrews, who were the enemies of the Midianites and their allies? Did they ever trade arrows with the Egyptians or the Cimmerian/Skythian peoples?

The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.

The Midianites were neighbors of the Moabites. Genesis has Midianites selling Joseph to Ishmaelite (Shasu beduin) traders, who took him to Egypt and re-sold him. Jared Diamond told me that the people you fight are also the people you trade with and marry - your neighbors, because they're available. The Midianites took over an old Egyptian temple at the Timna mining site, they might have had other contacts with Egyptian expeditions. Scythians seem like a very far fetch, to me.
