5 | The first civilization and bringer of knowledge and wealth to Mesopotamia, Egypt and Syria; |
6 | The people of the great forests and lakes, who conquered the seasons and were masters of architecture and science; |
7 | These be the people and the heritage of the Arab people. |
8 | Thus the stubbornness of the Bedouin, is not against the elements, but in remembrance of their ancestors. |
