By the tenth century AD, they were settled basically on the coastal
Egypt / Holy Land region, but they came from somewhere vaguely east-
ish of there, within range (in time and space) of the various
Cuneiform-using peoples.

The language died out some time after the tenth century, probably
nearer the fifteenth or sixteenth, but I haven't really done enough
historical research to find out exactly where to insert that
particular event.

Largely, the AU they inhabit is the same as Here, with as few changes
as possible. If the 20th century were relevant to their history, I
have some concultural changes I'd make in the general region, but not
too many. Mainly, one failed uprising, and a few consequences of it.
