Thamud



The Thamud (Arabic: ثمود) were an early Arabian people. Their name is mentioned in Assyrian annals (Tamudi), in a Greek temple inscription from the northwest Hijaz of 169 AD, in a 5th-century Byzantine source, and in Old North Arabian graffiti around Tayma, as well as (arguably) an Eblaite tablet; from these sources, it seems that the Thamud were a tribe living somewhere between Mecca and Tayma.
