ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Qahtanite

Okay, so you know how everyone has a family and we all have different last names? Well, some people a long time ago also had another way of identifying themselves – by the group or tribe they belonged to.

One of these tribes was called the Qahtanites. They lived in areas of the Middle East and Arabia, and their tribe was known for being very skilled in things like trading, farming, and fighting.

The Qahtanites were part of a bigger group of tribes called the Arabs, and they spoke a language called Arabic. Many people in the world still speak Arabic today!

Even though the Qahtanites lived a long time ago, people still study their history and culture today to learn more about how people used to live in that part of the world.
