Islam is a very dangerous religion. It tells you to NOT worry about this life and ONLY care about the afterlife. They also believe that money comes from Allah regardless if you work or not. Albania and Bosnia are Muslim European countries but they aren't that different from other Muslim countries in the Middle East.

Oil reserves ARE oil deposits-oil that is found underground. It’s not oil that’s been taken out and stored.
There are minor but present differences in culture and dialect across the Arabian peninsula and Yemen is distinct from say Kuwait or Bahrain in that regard. Hell there’s differences within Saudi Arabia itself.

What about fresh water, agriculture, cattle, farms etc. The Nile is used for irrigation but not sure how the other countries manage.

He is correct. The Nabateans were not Arameans or related to Assyrians. They were a North Arabian people. It’s only a minority of the Nabatean converted to Christianity. They also worshipped an Arabian pantheon of God and Goddesses. Also Aramaic was the lingua franca, even Persian spoke it. However the Nabatean Aramaic was so much North Arabic in its substrate that it was not mutually intelligible with other Aramaic dialects. They also spoke North Arabic as every day language, and indeed only used Aramaic for admin purposes. The Nabateans closest relatives were the Safiatic peoples, and other North Arabian groups. Nabateans themselves identified as Arabs. They also worshipped Al-Lat, Manat, Al-Uzzah as their creator and most powerful God and Goddesses. Not mention the Nabateans were also partially matriarchal, which connects them to Arabians, who were also. Arameans and Assyrians were heavily patriarchal. Not to mention Nabateans continued to be pagan, and often rebelled against Roman and Byzantine authorities, unlike the Ghassanids who embraced Christianity. The Nabateans also had strong presence in northern Arabia and even parts of western Iraq. Not mention they are said to be descendant of Ishmael the forefather of the North Arabian tribes.
This why Arabian/Bedouin Queens fought and resisted the Romans and Byzantines. The Byzantines at one point made it into Tabuk in Saudi. The Romans tried to invade but also failed.
Also many of the tribes in Arabia were materiachal, and the only successful Christian cult was Collyridianism (or Kollyridianism) was an alleged Early Christian heretical movement in Arabia whose adherents apparently worshipped the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, as a goddess. he Virgin was linked to the Goddess Al-Uzzah
Stop disconnecting us from our ancestors. Nabateans are as much Arabian as the Ummyads, Abbassids, and Fatamids, if not more in some cases.
