Best answer:
Answer by calm weather
Oman has vestiges of the Stone Age, many artifacts had
been found reflecting their earlier times of the Stone Age.
tablets refer to a country called Magan or Makan, a name believed to refer to
Oman’s ancient copper mines. Mazoon, another name used for the region,
is derived from the word muzn, which means heavy clouds which
carry abundant water. The present-day name of the country,
Oman, is believed to originate from the Arab tribes who migrated to its
territory from the Uman region of Yemen; many such tribes settled in Oman,
making a living by fishing, herding or stock breeding, and many present
day Omani families are able to trace their ancestral roots to other parts of Arabia.
