Painting for my worldbuilding!

Here is an Ishmaelite Assessor. A proto-Arab merchant, using ancient knowledge to identify bygone relics lost in the deserts of Arabia.

Love to know your thoughts!

Middle East, 1300 BC

The Ishmaelites are a coalition of proto-Arab tribes, descendant from Semitic and Egyptian bloodlines. While the empires of the world fight over the most fertile lands, the Ishmaelites remain

secluded within the deserts of Arabia. Always under cover of desert storms, no chariot or siege weaponry can chase them down, let alone find them within the maze of sand.

When most would see endless wastes to ignore, the Ishmaelite tribes see opportunity. What kind of life and civilizations have existed before the desert came? Excavators are dispatched, and the search begins. Slowly ancient artifacts of the past begin to reveal themselves, and with them, the voices appeared.

Their names were Al-Lat, Manat and Al-Uzza, the three sisters of fate, dormant gods, now awake. They promised the Ishmaelites sight into the future and control of their destiny. A time will come when Egypt, Assyria and Hattusa, the three mightiest empires of the world will kneel for the Ishmaelites. Until then, the tribes of Arabia have to step into the worldly stage and survive long enough for destiny to be fulfilled.
