Complete History of the Ad People, a Giant Nation Believed to Have Built the Pyramids


CAIRO - The Ad People are one of the groups mentioned in the Qur'an and are believed by Egyptian archaeologists to be giants who built the Pramida. They belong to an ancient tribe that once inhabited the Yemeni region.

Ad people are giant humans who have strong and large bodies and live richly. They worshiped idols so that Allah sent a prophet named Hud to invite them to return to their faith.

 The Ad people's denial of Hud's prophethood resulted in the extermination of the Ad people through disasters in the form of droughts and typhoons. 

The name Ad was taken from the name of one of their ancestors named `Ad. According to the scholars, his lineage is Ad bin Us/Aush bin Aram/Iram bin Shem/Sam bin Nuh. In history, there were two Ad groups, namely the early or first Ad and the late or second Ad. The early Ad people were the successors of the Prophet Noah's people and were the first people to worship idols after the great flood. They worship idols named Shamad, Shamud, and Huran.

 The second Ad people came after the early Ad people were destroyed. Prophet Hud was sent to the early Ad people. The second Ad people came from Qahthan and Saba' in the Yemen region. Some historians say that the second Ad people were the Thamud people.

 “And verily it is He who has destroyed the early Ad people.” An-Najm (53): 50 In the narration about the envoys of the Ad people who went to Mecca, there are several opinions.

 Muhammad bin Ishaq is of the opinion that they were the same Ad people as the people that Prophet Hud preached to. It is said that Hud and his followers had moved to another place so that they were not subject to punishment. Muhammad bin Ishaq continued that the Ad people in Mecca survived and their descendants were later known as the final Ad people.

 Ibn Kathir is of the opinion that the narration is talking about the second Ad people. 

This is because in the narration it is mentioned about Mecca, even though Mecca was only built during the time of Ibrahim. The style of language of the poem recited by Mu'awiyah bin Bakr is also not typical of the early Ad people.

 It is also said that the cloud brought bad fire, even though the early Ad people were destroyed by very strong cold winds. Ibn Kathir also believes that the Ad people mentioned in surah Al-Ahqaf are the second Ad people, while the Ad people described in other surahs are the early Ad people.

 It is mentioned in the story of the Bedouin tribe that the king of the Ad people had a palace where the women and their horses lived, then they were all destroyed with fire from heaven for their sins. It is believed that their ruins are somewhere in the Rub' al Khali, a vast desert located on the southern Arabian peninsula.

 The Ad settlement is located between Amman and Hadramaut in Yemen. Their place of residence is a cape area with sandy hills. The name of the place is Ash-Syihr. This settlement is in the valley

About  2,000  years  ago,  the  Roman  naturalist  Pliny  the  Elder  is  credited  with  coining  the  theory  that  ostriches  bury  their  heads  when  they  feel  threatened. Is  it  true,  though? gambar "Bury your head in the sand" is an idiom that means to avoid or ignore a difficult situation.   (Image credit: Martin Harvey/Getty Images) For  generations,  people  have  said  that  ostriches  (Struthio  species)  hide  by  sticking  their  heads  in  the  sand  when  they  are  in  danger.

  A  state-of-the-art  examination  of  a  skull  discovered  in  Turkey  in  1929  definitively  establishes  that  it  is  not  that  of  Cleopatra's   half-sister,  Arsinoë  IV. By Khristina Killgrove Researchers  have  discovered  that  a  skull  long  thought  to  belong  to  Cleopatra's  half-sister,  Arsinoë  IV,  really  belonged  to  a  teenage  male  with  a  genetic  condition.

According to a study, 13% of the world's forest loss occurs outside of wealthy nations like the US and the UK due to consumption.

According  to  study,  the  richest  countries  in  the  world  are  "exporting  extinction"  by  losing  15  times  as  much  biodiversity  abroad  as  they  do  domestically. According  to  a  study  that  examined  how  the  demand  for  goods  like  cattle,  palm  oil,  lumber,  and  soy  beans  by  wealthy  nations  is  affecting  biodiversity  hotspots  elsewhere,  the  majority  of  wildlife  habitats  are  being  destroyed  in  countries  with  tropical  forests. It  was  discovered  that  13%  of  the  worldwide  loss  of  forest  habitats  outside  of  their  boundaries  was  caused...
