... through my own research ...
Well then you should be able to show this research. Please, do feel free to share this research - I'd be quite interested in the sources from which it is drawn and the accuracy of the claims. Feel free to change my views on this, show me evidence that these claims are not true and that your claim is true.
This is not my job (unless you want to pay me). If you claim to be a researcher yourself then you'll have absolutely no problems finding the research you request. After all, how can you be secure in your beliefs if you've never tried to disprove them.

That's not how this works. You made a claim contrary to the accepted history, the onus is on you to provide evidence to back up that claim. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - and there's a ton of evidence supporting exactly what I said. I've been forthcoming and shown you said evidence instead of saying, "Look it up yourself!"
Let's see....
I made a statement.
You said it wasn't true.
I demonstrated that it is true according to current understanding.
You said it wasn't true.
I asked for evidence.
You declined to provide said evidence.
I think that's correct - am I missing a step in there? I just want to make sure we're on the same page. See, I've done my research and this is what I came up with. I've done my job.
As I said, it's not a major concern if you choose to believe whatever. What is important is that I've posted the correction here and provided citations so that other people can see the evidence and reach their own conclusions. Meh... Either way, I think we can pretty clearly agree that the golden age of Arabia is long since gone and that the current area is, as Trump might say, "A shithole."

Brah, you just made a claim. Don't pussy out after being asked to verify your "research".
