Gorabo (Arabic: الغرافه), officially the Caliphate of Gorabo (Arabic: الغرافه خلافة) is a country on the continent of Thrismari on the planet Anteria.
Etymology
The English name for Gorabo is derived from the Arabic name of Gorabo, al-Gharafa, which was in turn derived from a portmentaeu between the two rivers of Gorabo, the Ghassan, and the Aravah (in Arabic known as tha Arafa). This theory is widely agreed upon by the vast majority of etymological and archaeological experts. Archaeological evidence and old writing that has been preserved and identified shows that al-Gharafah was used as a name for the unified region of the two rivers. This name in some writings appears to be used to describe the lands of all of the two rivers, going as far to their sources in modern-day Mehrava.
History
Early tribal peoples migrated to the Ghassan river valley and Aravah river valley around the 10th millennium BCE. By around 6000 BCE, a Neolithic culture took root in the Aravah and Ghassan river valleys around the same time. Predynastic cultures started to evolve independently along both the Ghassan and Aravah. Evidence of trade between the small states along the Ghassan and Aravah is present from this time, indicating that despite (at this point) being culturally distant and separated by desert, they still maintained contact with each other, such as pottery, obsidian, and various writings towards the 4th millennium BCE.
