Video Description (from Youtube)

A conversation with Ahmad Al-Jallad about the languages and inscriptions of pre-Islamic Arabia, our main contemporary source for life, death, and worship before the time of the Prophet Muhammad. We talk about field surveys in search of inscriptions and what they tell us about Allah and other Arabian deities in the early centuries of the first millennium.

Ahmad Al-Jallad is Professor in the Sofia Chair in Arabic Studies at Ohio State University, where his research focuses on pre-Islamic Arabian inscriptions. The article on which this conversation is based has not yet been published (its provisional title is "Ancient Allah: An Epigraphic Reconstruction").
