Jabal Takhala (walled) in the sources of Al-Hamdani, who died a year later (360 AH / 971 AD) A comparative historical study

Abstract

The two researchers have thought  that the writings of, Abi Muhammad al-Hasan bin Ahmad bin Yaqoub al-Hamedani are the most important writings that appeal to the researcher’s interest, which attract their mind and thought, and forced  him to stand amazed by the abundance of the writer’s information in various aspects, its accuracy, and his ability to write attractively, even though he is one of  the fourth century author  AH, the tenth AD, and from this As a starting point, the two researchers stand amazed at scattered information among the available writings of Al-Hamdani about Mount Takhla (Maswer), containing historical, descriptive, natural, human, astronomical and Anthropological aspects of great importance.

Therefore, the research focuses on an attempt to transfer a picture of what Al-Hamdani wrote about Takhla a mountain (Maswer) where he had compared it with the available writings, including the writings of historians and geographers of the twenty-first century, to provide capabilities and means that did not exist in the era of Al-Hamdani, so that we prove with definitive evidence the validity or denial of what Al-Hamdani reached in terms of knowledge and know-how. An experience that we rarely find in a world of contemporary scholars. And documenting the landmarks that were destined to continue to this day, with a reminder of what has disappeared, perhaps someone will come to renew and preserve them because they are connected to the ancient history of Yemen and because they are part of its memory and identity. This is done through the following Research:

First: Geographical Research:

Second: Social Research:

Third: Economic Research:

Fourth: the political research:
