[Tell It Right]

Are these the Medianites from Genesis 37 (took Joseph to Egypt as a slave)? I believe that was near Khaybar Arabia.

Probably not, they could have been anyone, and given the era of this structure, the population of the builders probably died out earlier. And it’s Midianites.

[Steve Van Doorn]

When Muhammad left Mecca on what was the Hijrah (journey to Yathrib (Medina)) which some Muslims stayed in Mecca (important.) The group of about one hundred people headed for Yathrib where the Banu Nadir (officially stated as Jewish people) lived.

Banu Nadir allies where all killed in the battle of Trench. Muhammad personally executed up to 900 prisoners of war in one day. Latter the Banu Nadir where all enslaved or killed after the Battle of Khaybar. After the battle He asked a women to cook a meal for him that he once trusted which Muhammad just finished killing her whole family. Of course she poisoned his food which did ultimately kill him 3 years latter

Banu Nadir traveled to Khaybar because that was the main Jewish(officially) settlement in the area after Mecca.

Today I have a different perspective. Mecca and the surrounding area where not Jewish. They where more likely Amaru we incorrectly call Phoenicians or Babylonian Mystics. As the Black stones and the Kaaba fits the Babylonian Mystics then Judah(Judaism.) It was the Amaru(Phoenicians) that migrated. Judah(Judaism) were put into slavery.

The ONLY redeeming aspect of Muhammad IMO. He was very much against human sacrifices. Which was taken place at this time around Mecca. That was the Amaru/Babylonian Mystics not Judaism.
