+== Geography ==
-__TOC__
+The land within the Sheikdom exhibits a diverse range of geographical features.  Along the coast lies the littoral area, which includes the city of Crater.  In the lowlands, agricultural cultivation relies primarily on irrigation, facilitated by a network of water channels and subterranean courses, which are supplied by water drawn from wells.
-In the lowlands, cultivation depends chiefly on irrigation from water channels and courses, including those below the surface, raised from wells.  Near the coast, rainfall comes in irregular heavy torrents, averaging about 5 in. annually.  The intramontane highland receives between 20 and 30 in. each year.  Agriculture forms the chief occupation of the tribal groups dwelling throughout the region.  Goods are marketed through Crater on the sea.
 == History ==
-History of the region begins around 1200 <small>BC</small>.  Following domination of the region by Minaean peoples to the north, the city of Timna upon the north highland plain became the focus of the Qataban kingdom (c.7th-1st centuries <small>BC</small>) through is domination of the spice and incense trade — transported overland into both eastern and western Arabia, chiefly to Mesopotamia.  The kingdom consumed the smaller entity of Awsan on the Gulf of Berbera in the 6th century <small>BC</small>.
+The history of the region can be traced back to around 1200 <small>BC</small>.  Initially, the region was dominated by the Minaean people from the north.  However, the city of Timna, located on the north highland plain, rose to prominence during the reign of the Qataban kingdom, which held sway over the spice and incense trade. These valuable commodities were transported overland to both eastern and western Arabia, particularly Mesopotamia.  In the 6th century <small>BC</small>, Qataban absorbed the smaller entity of Awsan, situated on the Gulf of Berbera.
