Who was Ubiad?

[edit]

I recall reading somewhere that the name comes from a battle during the Umayyad expansion into Mesopotamia. The tell was the site of the battle, and I thought Ubiad was the name of the Arabian commander who won the battle. I can't remember where I read this or if I dreamed it, so I won't write it here. I was hoping this article would refresh my memory on the naming of the hill Himkdm (talk) 07:15, 14 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

A recent arch article says "(30°58′20″N, 46°01′50″E)". Dunno. Ploversegg (talk) 18:44, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article

[edit]

Rebooted article but 1) did not touch the two subsidiary articles Copper Bull and Tell al-'Ubaid Copper Lintel. The Ubaid period article might not hurt from review either and 2) I glossed over the temple and graveyard which the excavators went into Excruciating detail about but I added online links so if anyone feels so inclined they can feel free.Ploversegg (talk) 18:10, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
