Haman

 ونمكن لهم فى الارض ونرى فرعون وهامان وجنودهما منهم ما كانوا يحذرون
And to establish them in the land, and to show Fir'aun and Hāmān and their forces through them what they feared. (28:6)

Hämän: A proper name for a minister under Fir'awn. A character is found in the Book of Esther by the same name, but has no other correlation. The high priest in the temple of Amun was called "Ḥam nata tapiy amana", which in its noun form becomes "Ḥam-amana" meaning servant of Amun. "Ḥam" in Egyptian means servant and "amana" is the articulated version of Amun (imn). The word means servant of Amun. However, it would be an assumption to claim that the proper name Haman is an arabization of the coptic title Ḥam-amana (Ḥam nata tapiy amana). The following are Haman inscriptions from Yemen, and medieval maps placing Haman in Yemen. In reality, the Western Egyptologists are the ones who have falsely articulated "Ḥam nata tapiy amana" as "Ḥaman" and then claimed that Haman is an arabization to falsely project the Quranic stories about Fir'aun and Haman onto the history of Egypt.




وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَأُ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرِى فَأَوْقِدْ لِى يَـٰهَـٰمَـٰنُ عَلَى ٱلطِّينِ فَٱجْعَل لِّى صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّىٓ أَطَّلِعُ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَـٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ
And Fir'aun said: “O eminent ones: I know not that you have a god other than me. So kindle thou for me, O Hāmān, upon the clay, and make thou for me a tower, that I might look upon the god of Moses; and I think him of the liars.” (28:38)

The Judeo-Christian worshippers of the Egypt-Palestine thesis make unsubstantiated claims that Egypt’s pyramids were constructed using baked clay. There is no evidence for this that I know of. The pyramids, particularly the famous ones in Egypt, were primarily constructed using massive blocks of limestone and granite. Baked clay was not used as the main building material for the pyramids. Instead, it was used in different cultures and regions for various types of structures and buildings. The question that poses itself here is the following: was there ever a civilization in the ancient world, known for its construction of towers or high edifices from clay? The answer is yes; the culture of South Arabia (Asir and Yemen) was- and still is- famous worldwide for its skyscrapers made from mud. It is in ʿAsīr and Yemen that houses were built of baked clay. The Sultan Al Kathiri Palace, Seiyun, Yemen:


Dar Al Hajar, Wadi Dhahr Valley, Yemen. Also known as the Imam's Rock Palace is perched on top of a rock pinnacle, some 15 km away from the capita city of Sana. It is typical of Yemeni architecture, seeming to grow out of the rocks on which it is constructed, and with characteristic Yemeni painting of its windows and building edges. The palace was built in the 1930s by Imam Yahya as his summer residence.


Yet there is no historical evidence in Persian history that a Persian Haman ever existed, nor do the names Ahasuerus, Amalek and Agag ever relate to the Persians in their personal histories, and is just fabricated interpretation by the Judeo-Christians of Europa to demonize their Persian enemies. This is further evidence that the Prophet Muhammad quite clearly couldn't have plagiarized from the corrupted Bible that was by that time twisted to point to the Kings of Persia and Egypt, and instead rebuked mythologies of the skewed Old Testament Book of Esther with divine revelation of real history without any prior learnt knowledge of the South Arabian hieroglyphs which also mention Haman, there are many differences between the story of Moses in the Quran and the European Judeo-Christian story of Moses in the Corrupted Bible disproving plagiarism, for example, the Bible was corrupted and changed to the word Aigypto (Egypt) whereas the Qur'an says Misr instead, but the unlearnt Arabs of Central and North Arabia after the death of the Prophet had thought that Misr is Egypt as they came across the Bible which replaces the term Misr with Aigypto used in the stories of Moses.

The Old Testament briefly mentions the Amalekites (العماليق) and their conflict with the Israelites. In the Tanakh, it is stated that Haman, known as an Amalekite (of Amaleeq) and Agagite (of Agag), was a ruler of Amaleeq. In the Quran, Agag is referred to as Yajuj. While Haman is commonly associated with Egypt and Persia, there is a South Arabian inscription that mentions Haman, and maps also include references to Haman in South Arabia. Moreover, in the Quran, Dhu'l Qarnayn is attributed to the destruction of Yajuj wa Majuj. The term "Dhu" is used in the names of various people from Arabia Felix and places in Arabia Felix. The Amalekites (العماليق), Agagites (Yajuj), Majuj, Fir'aun, Haman, and Dhu'l Qarnayn were all related to the region of Arabia Felix, specifically towards Najran, Hadhramaut, and Saba. Various references to the Amalekites and their conflicts with the Israelites can be found in the books of Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The association of Haman as an Amalekite and Agagite can be found in the Book of Esther, particularly in Esther 3:1 and 3:10. The references to Agag as Yajuj and Dhu'l Qarnayn's role in dealing with Yajuj wa Majuj can be found in Surah Al-Kahf (Chapter 18) of the Quran.

The Amalekites
Linguistic argument: 
Amalekite names On the linguistic side, Nöldeke drew attention to the fact that Arab writers depicted theAmalekites as the most ancient of Arab peoples. Velikovsky himself emphasised that “the Islamic historians consider Amalek as one of the m ost ancient of the Arab tribes” [8].Caussin de Perceval discussed the matter in his Essai sur l’histoire des Arabes:

Ariba as a name among Arabs denotes the first, the most ancient inhabitants of Arabia. Among those primitive races, the principal ones are: the people of Amlik or the Amâlika (…) The language of the primitive stock, the historians say, was Arabic, al-Arabiya.

Like Ibn al-Kalbi, at-Tabari, in his Annals, identified the "Amalekites" as already inhabiting the country around Mecca at the time Ishmael settled there, but added the Jurhumites as also being already there. 
He made no other reference to the Amalekites in relation to Mecca, but in his account of the expulsion of the Jurhumites, he introduced a new motive of Divine vengeance. God Himself “sent bleeding of the nose and a plague of ants against the Jurhum and destroyed them, while Khuzaˀah joined together to expel those of them who survived”

Here is an explanation of Amalekites who were also known as the Imlāq to the Arabs:

"Al-Arab al-Ba'ida (Arabic: العرب البائدة‎), "The Extinct Arabs", were an ancient group of tribes of prehistory that included the ‘Aad, the Thamud, the Tasm, the Jadis, the Imlāq (who included branches of Banu al-Samayda), and others."

Amalekite/Amaleqiy/עֲמָלֵקִי in squared Aramaic/عملاق: the name is Arabic, not "Hebrew" as it makes no sense in Hebrew. In Arabic, the name means in Arabic (the god) Amm is worthy/honorable. (عم) 
Amm is the name of the Qataban god. The 2nd half of this name is (لاق ) or Laqa and means "to be worthy"/"to be honorable". Amaleq is an ancient Arabic name of a tribal ancestor or founder. 
The name is typical of Sayhadic/Yemenite names where their gods were addressed as relatives as uncle, father, brother and cousin. This designation was followed by an attribute of praise as generous, shining, glorious etc. The current definition for عملاق is 'giant' or 'giants' which means the name of this extinct tribe followed the same pattern as the names of the extinct Hebrew tribes as the Nephilim, Raphaim, Zuzims and Emims whose names also became synonymous with giants.

Qataban or Katabania (Arabic: مملكة قتبان‎; Qatabanian: 𐩤𐩩𐩨𐩬) was an ancient Yemeni kingdom. Its heartland was located in the Baihan valley. Like some other Southern Arabian kingdoms it gained great wealth from the trade of frankincense and myrrh, incenses which were burned at altars. The capital of Qataban was named Timna and was located on the trade route which passed through the other kingdoms of Hadramaut, Sheba and Ma'in. The chief deity of the Qatabanians was 'Amm, or "Uncle" and the people called themselves the "children of Amm" (Banu Amm). It was a prominent Yemeni kingdom in the 2nd half of the 1st millennium BCE, when its ruler held the title of the South Arabian hegemon, Mukarrib.

Amm (Musnad: 𐩲𐩣; Arabic: عمْ‎) was a moon god worshipped in ancient Qataban, which was a kingdom in ancient Yemen. 'Amm is also the Arabic word for paternal uncle. The inhabitants of the kingdom referred to themselves as the Banu Amm, or the "Children of Amm"."

According to Numbers 13:29:
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Yarden.

The Amalekites, that the Bible describes were a clan of the Qataban Arabs who settled in Edom, which is why Amaleq is designated as Esau's grandson from his concubine, Timna. It appears that the Amelekites were in the area as Shasu who were exploiting the copper mines and it seems that they named Timna after the Qataban capital in Yemen which was also named Timna. 

The Qataban were known by their founding ancestor, Ameleq, in Edom and Judea. They were aligned with the Midianites. According to Judges 7:12:

"And the Midianites and the Amalekites were all בְּנֵי־קֶ֨דֶם֙ Bani Qedem (ancient peoples) that lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude."

The origins and spread of the Amalekites explained by Yaqut al-Hamawi in his Mu’jam Al Buldan:
وكانت منازل الــعماليق موضع صنعاء اليوم ثم خرجوا فنزلوا حول مكة ولحقت طائفة منهم بالشام وبمصر وتفرقت طائفة منهم في جزيرة العرب إلى العراق والبحرين إلى عمان،
The homes of the Amalekites were in Sana'a today, then they left and camped around Mecca, and a group of them joined the Sham and Misr, and a group of them dispersed across the Arabian Peninsula to Iraq and Bahrain to Oman.
