When you consider that Joktan was a son of Heber (who was a great grandson of Shem), and that the “Qahtani” settled the Arabian peninsula, it’s really no surprise that Ptolemy on his 2nd century map showed that the southern portion of the Arabian peninsula was inhabited by the Iobaritae (their land the kingdom of Ubar), one of their cities “the Pillars of Iram” (near Shishr) called the Omanum Emporium by Ptolemy. The horse trade was big among these people, and a few hundred miles to the northwest are the ruins of the Al Magar civilization, probably built too by progeny of Joktan, where was discovered a three hundred pound stone piece of art depicting a horse with bridle, from the days when the land was verdant, during the Ice Age, which ended when the world ocean had cooled down to about today’s average temperature top to bottom (50 degrees F.) about nine hundred years after Noah’s Flood.
