Read your Greeks, yet again. The "Arabs" never invented shit. The Jordanians and Syrians used to be White, 2,000 years ago. They invented things like advanced mathematics and such. The shitskins didn't invade that region until the 6th century.

@BattleDwarfGimli @Shadowman311 I think the word "white" here doesn't fit well. There's no such thing as white people in Jordania or Syria, they're Semitic from the get go, but yeah they're not Arabs but more like Aram people, Edomites, Phoenicians etc. You must be precise enough with history, classifying everything as white will only muddle the field of anthropology.
And no the Arabs invaded the region in 7th century, in 632 I think?

@BattleDwarfGimli @Shadowman311 Early 7th man, 600ish. And no they were Semitic from the get go, no Indo-Europeans there.

Initial Arab incursions into Syria and Jordan began in the late 6th Century. As to the whole region being Semitic, sure, it is now, but it was not during the time of Polybius and Ovid.
