Imagined Palestine 1/2

.

A monumental shift in historical discourse, uncovering how biblical geography was uprooted from its ancient Yemeni origins and forcefully superimposed onto the land of Palestine.

About this book

In this two-volume historical masterpiece, "Imagined Palestine," Fadhil Al-Rubaie launches a revolutionary intellectual battle. Armed with comparative philology and field anthropology, he deconstructs the massive edifice of invented geography built by colonial orientalism. Al-Rubaie takes the reader on an astonishing journey through the valleys of ancient Yemen, proving via ancient South Arabian inscriptions and existing village names that the narratives of the Old Testament—including Jerusalem and the kingdoms of David and Solomon—never occurred in Mediterranean Palestine, but were a purely Yemeni epic. It is a brilliant, provocative work that liberates Palestine's true history from the captivity of theological myths, reconstructing the ancient Near East based on physical ground and untampered ancient inscriptions.

Why read it?

To witness a grand intellectual rebellion that strips colonial narratives of their fabricated historical legitimacy, discovering how place names migrated across space, and granting your mind a sharp critical lens to differentiate between sacred reality and political mythology.

Who is it for?

For pioneers of free thought and lovers of ancient history, researchers of comparative linguistics, and every brave reader possessing the cognitive audacity to challenge deeply-entrenched historical axioms in search of the truth buried beneath the layers of time.
