Talk:History of Oman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Nothing on British influence

The history of the 1960's and 1970's is strangely silent on the role of the British patron in the country. All the officers of the Omani army at that time were British, the SAS trained the Omani army and indeed carried out most of the fight in the fight against the Dhofari rebels, etc. This should be mentioned!!!70.23.207.197 (talk) 19:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Early history missing

There is nothing here for pre-Islamic Oman. I know only that Sumerian pottery was traded here earlier than 3000BCE. Can someone help out with a stub? Ian Page 10:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Totally agree. This was written by someone who believes there's no history before Muhammad, I suspect. Sadly, I can't help you much to alleviate these shortcomings. All I know about Oman is that it was under Persian influence before the expansion of Islam.

But at least I will make some fixes in the article's organization, so it can be more easily expanded. --Sugaar (talk) 13:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
