Circassians
The Circassians (also referred to as Cherkess or Adyghe; Adyghe and Kabardian: Адыгэхэр, romanized: ''Adıgəxər'') are an indigenous Northwest Caucasian ethnic group and nation native to the historical country-region of Circassia in the North Caucasus. As a consequence of the Circassian genocide, which was perpetrated by the Russian Empire in the 19th century during the Russo-Circassian War, most Circassians were exiled from their homeland in Circassia to modern-day Turkey and the rest of the Middle East, where the majority of them are concentrated today. The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization estimated in the early 1990s that there are as many as 3.7 million Circassians in diaspora in over 50 countries. The Circassian language is the ancestral language of the Circassian people, and Islam has been the dominant religion among them since the 17th century. Circassia has been subject to repeated invasions since ancient times; its isolated terrain c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
People From Muscat, Oman
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form " people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plur ...

Al Said Dynasty
The House of Busaid (, ), also known as Al Said dynasty, is the current ruling royal house of the Oman, and former ruling royal house of the Omani Empire (from 1744 to 1856), Sultanate of Muscat and Oman (1856 to 1970) and the Sultanate of Zanzibar (1856 to 1964). It was founded by Ahmad bin Said al-Busaidi, ruler of Oman and its east African territories at the time. The Busaid dynasty traces its roots to the tribes of Azd through a patrilineal ancestor, al-'Atik al-Asad b. Imran, who settled in Dibba (Dabá), hence the band was also known as the "Azd of Daba". Like other Qahtani, the Azd originally hailed from Yemen and migrated north after the destruction of the Marib Dam. With the rise of Islam, the Azd established themselves into a leading force in the ensuing Muslim conquests and later in the realms of the Umayyad Caliphate through the celebrated general Al Muhallab ibn Abi Suffrah (Abu Said), the progenitor of the Busaid tribe. Significantly, it is with the Azd th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Faisal Bin Turki, Sultan Of Muscat And Oman
Faisal bin Turki, GCIE (8 June 1864 – 4 October 1913) ( ar, فيصل بن تركي), historic spelling ''Fessul bin Turkee'', ruled as Sultan of Muscat and Oman from 4 June 1888 to 4 October 1913.

He granted the French coaling facilities for their fleet at Bandar Jissah near Muscat. Determined to thwart any growth in French presence in what Britain considered its sphere of influence, Britain presen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
