 * =Technology/Achievements or Accomplishments= ||
 * We have created some signifcant achievements that we hope will be useful in the future. We created the concept of zero, decimal numbers, and invented a type of math called Algerbra. We have also invented a tool called "astrolabes," that is used to chart the timing of sunset and sunrise. For religious purposes, we have created mosques that are used like a temple. Irrigation systems and the water wheel were also invented by us to help grow crops become more easy work. Lastly, we have created the harp, tambourine, and drums to play music. We have created many inventions, and we are still in the process of more to come.

 * =Culture= ||
 * We live in the Middle East. Most of us live in the hot, dry deserts and we travel through these deserts on camels stopping at oasis's. Some of us live in rural areas. We are traders and farmers Since its so hot, us men, wear robes and head dresses to protect us from the sun and to keep cool. Our wives were full length robes and if they are devoted, they cover their faces also. This is worn to show respect. Some times, you'll see us wearing colorful patterned head dresses. This is because the pattern shows we are in a certain clan, tribe, or family. Men are head of the familys, and we believe in respect and honor for our families. We also value friendship. We are very picky when it comes to food. We aren't allowed to eat pork, unscaled fish, carnivorous animals, and drink alchol because of our race. We eat lamb and dark pita bread most of the time. We celebrate Ramadan, Hajj, and a few more corresponding holidays. We track these dates on our Islamic calendars that are lunar- based.

 * =Religion= ||
 * We are not only Muslim, as most people think that is, but we also are Christian and Jewish. Anyone who adpots the Arabic language is considered Arabic. The part of us that are Muslim, follow the Qur'an and on every Friday, we worship the Gods. The other part of us who's Christian, follow the Bible, while the Jewish part of us follow the Old Testament of the Bible. Religion is also used in our government and social lives.
