how was emperor of dubai?
Answers
Explanation:
Records of the area where the emirate of Dubai is situated are very rare for any period before the 18th century.
During the expansion of the Sheikh Zayed Road between 1993 and 1998, remnants of a mangrove swamp were uncovered which were dated to approximately 7000 BCE.[1] It is thought that by about 3000 BCE, the coastline had moved seaward sufficiently towards the present-day coastline and the area became covered in sand.[2]
As it became more inhabitable, nomadic cattle herders used the area to live and herd in.[3] The date palm began to be grown locally in 2500 BCE, and was the first instance of the land being used for agricultural purposes.[4] The herders worshipped the god Bajir[5] and various evidence suggests links to the mysterious Magan civilisation, who it is thought controlled the copper trade of this part of the ancient world, and of which there are archaeological sites in Bahrain.[4]
For the next about 2000–2700 years there are no more details, probably because of the desertification, insignificance, and remoteness of the area, until the area came part of the "Maka" satrapy, the southern most satrapy of the Achaemenid Empire, and followed by the Sassanian Empire, the last pre-Islamic Iranian Empire,[6] several hundred years later in the 3rd century CE.[7] Recent excavations of the Jumeirah area of Dubai have unearthed a 6th-century caravan station[8][9] suggesting the area was sparsely inhabited during this period.
7th century–1800 Edit
Built in 1787, Al Fahidi Fort is the oldest existing building in Dubai.
The Umayyads[10] regarded as the first Muslim dynasty,[11] introduced Islam to the area in the 7th century and sparked the revitalization of the area, opening up trade routes supported by fishing and pearl diving to eastern regions such as modern-day Pakistan and India, with reports of ships travelling as far as China to trade.[12] The earliest written mention of the area of Dubai was in 1095, by Abū 'Ubayd 'Abd Allāh al-Bakrī, in his Mojam Ma Ostojam men Asmae Al belaad wal Mawadhea,[13] in which he describes many places of the world compiled from other accounts of them.[14] It was not until 1799 that the town had its first record.[15] However, the Venetian Gasparo Balbi, a renowned pearl merchant,[16] when visiting in 1580, remarked on the area and how many Venetians were working there in the pearl industry.[17][18]
