Iram: The Lost City of Giants

Iram in the Quran
-
Within the Quran, there is a record of an ancient tribe which has long confused historians and scholars. Known as the Ad, the tribe of an area called Iram, they do not appear in the texts of Judaism or Christianity, curious, since all three of these Abrahamic religions are built upon the same history, and thus contain mention of the same ancient tribes and events. Think King Solomon, Moses and the Egyptian Pharaoh, Noah and the Flood, and so on, all in the holy books of all three traditions.

But not the Ad.
-
Most famously, the tribe appears in the Quran when Muhammad warns unbelievers,
-
“Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with Ad – the tribe of Iram – who had lofty pillars, the likes of which were not produced in all the land?”
