Veiled beneath the Persian Gulf, a once-fertile landmass may have supported some of the earliest humans outside Africa some 75,000 to 100,000 years ago, a new review of research suggests.
At its peak, the floodplain now below the Gulf would have been about the size of Great Britain, and then shrank as water began to flood the area. Then, about 8,000 years ago, the land would have been swallowed up by the Indian Ocean.
Early human groups were living around the Gulf basin throughout the Late Pleistocene. Human occupation during the Paleolithic, or early Stone Age, of the now-submerged landmass, scientists would need to find any evidence of stone tools scattered under the Gulf, As for the Neolithic, it would be wonderful to find some evidence for human-built structure.
some fossils of the anatomically modern humans some 100,000 years old found in South Arabia."
There's a hint of mythology. "Nearly every civilization living in southern Mesopotamia has told some form of the flood myth. While the names might change, the content and structure are consistent from 2,500 B.C. to the Genesis account to the Qur'anic version.

Muslim believes in Al-Quran. But they do not read and understand the content, guidance and instructions. Many Iranians in Malaysia doing postgraduates studies. As we know Americans used Arabs including Persians for their science development. Why we do not do the same thing. Iran have good relation with Malaysia, many good Iranian study in Malaysia, we have good professors. So why we cannot perform better than America and Japanese? Check our leaders and administrators.
