About Pre-Islamic Arabia
The era of pre-Islamic Arabia encompasses human history in parts of the Arabian Peninsula and the Southern Levant before the spread of Islam beginning in 610 CE. During the prehistoric period, humans first migrated and settled into the peninsula. In the early first millennium BC, writing and recorded history are introduced into the Peninsula, along with the rise of the first kingdoms in the south. Arabia in late antiquity saw the growth of monotheistic religions, the rise and spread of the Arabic script, increased commercial integration into the wider Near Eastern and Mediterranean world, and the rise of imperial proxy warfare involving the Byzantine and Sasanian empires.
