Towns Emerge
By A.D. 500 life began to change for the Arabians. Instead of migrating in search of food, they began to settle in oases, or fertile valleys. This allowed them to build villages, towns, and cities.
Many of the Arabians became skilled farmers, while others learned crafts such as blacksmithing. Others still became merchants and traders. As the centuries wore on, some of these cities became very large, and wealthy.
