Salaams BANTARU...They are the 100,000 or so mountain tribesmen of Southern Oman, The Dhofar region... often seen even these days dressed in a loin cloth and covered from head to foot in deep purple dye... They have their own language ... perhaps 9 different variations and look like Ethiopian tribesmen. They live in round houses made from cattleskins stretched over a wooden frame and they hunt and raise cattle and camels... thousands of them... They are extremely fierce and it is said they look like they could go to war in an instant. Being purple and very fit as well as incredibly brave and fierce they make brilliant soldiers.
