  • @do7awi No/////these boats stem from the spread of the Sultanate of Oman along the east coast of africa....arab islamic colonisation....the very thing muslims accuse the west of doing.. !!!

  • @do7awi

    No, it's found everywhere in the Indian ocean. Nobody is the inventor.

  • Most interesting is, the black people and the arabian people had the best knowlegde in the Middle Age. They were worldbest in geography, mathematic, medicine, nautic and astronomy, they wrote a lot of books and translated books from the ancient Greeks. At this time Central Europe had no cultur. In the 15th century the Africans and Arabs lost their power - and Europe got all this knowlegde from the Arabians, Indians and Chinese. The Dhows are wonderful boats and use it since 2000 years.

  • name one other than peanut butter and rape
