T O P I C R E V I E Wastro junkieIs there still a country techinically called "Arabia"? Well, I'm not sure - but what would be Arabia - anyone see any similarities between that, India & Spain (those two already having Mars in common) ...Thanks.Sheaa OleinI don't believe it is AJ. I understand it was divided at the beginning of the century by the Brits and the Turkish into Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, what else? .. Can anyone else confirm that?whiterabbitI second that!It's a rarely used, vague term today- geographical now, not political (much like Levant)Usually refers to Middle Eastern areas of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, etc...I can't think of any others..I'll look it up.It's also an ethnicity, "Arab"There is a connection to Spain- obviously during the Islamic rule. Many Spanish words come from Arabic (lol..a lot of words related to hygiene)I don't know about India, however.Why are you asking? MysticScorpioThere isn't a country called Arabia, I am absolutely sure of that. I think that Spain used to be an Arabic country a long time ago . Arabic countries refer to the Middle East as someone else posted, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and so on.astro junkieBingo Mystic Scorpio -THAT's why I'm asking ...Thanks.Atlantic MystI would say they used that term in the old times. But some people still use it at times when they refer to the middle east.*sighs my dream is to see a desertEven if I have to go to arizona or any place that has a desert before I die I will see one!------------------~*~ Cusp: Gemini/Cancer, Cancer rising, Taurus moon ~*~Let's go...MysticScorpioAnytime AJ, glad I could help Take Care
