    Growing up in the UAE, we learnt about the pearl diving industry and the death of it in social studies. It's something that also moulded the UAE's outlook on oil as well.

      yup, i can only imagine the paranoia that ensues when you’re going through a period of wealth on the basis of a finite commodity the second time around. Serves them well though i think, they are making a genuine effort to reframe Dubai as a new age media city and thus a tourist destination, much moreso than the saudis. The Emirate has a genuine stab at prosperity beyond fossile fuels, they’ll just have to invest their money wisely,

      @@jonasghafur4940 Thing is it also depends on the emirate. Each emirate has a different strategy to meet the issue.
      For example, Dubai has a strong focus on tourism, logistics and trade and media, and recently also manufacturing. Especially with the new emiratisation policy its trying to achieve something closer to Singapore or better yet Germany. Even investing heavily in education and artificial intelligence. Idk how effective the latter is though.
      Abu Dhabi has gone full on in the manufacturing, artificial intelligence and education sectors with policies to ensure security with energy away from fossil fuels especially with the masdar initiatives.
      Ras Al khaimah has always had the strategy of slow steady growth. Being also the first place in the gcc to have open bottle shops and implementing thought out policies for social and industrial growth. It's one of the few places in the middle-east with a high concentration of glass manufacturing plants.
      Sharjah has the policy of become a centre of Islamic and education. Being the more conservative emirate and choosing to approach the problem much like Oman has.
      Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain are the relatively poorer emirates but have strategies to develop in supporting the logistics and access for the other bigger emirates.
      Finally, Ajman, being the smallest emirate focuses on commerce and corporate growth. Slow and steady is the name of the game for them as well.

      Oh dude, I’m from Abu Dhabi, and let me tell you. My great-grandfather went from a guy owning 6 dhows, to dhow-sharing one with 40 other men, to just make ends meet, during the pearling season, between May-September, in the aftermath of the Great Depression, which coincided with the commercial success of cultural pearls by 1928.
      He passed-away in June of 1999, and he saw it all. I’ll never forget how much he appreciated things like AC, water bottles, and cold showers. He was born in the empty quarter during winter, spent his life diving for pearls, was tough as nails, and would join merchants on trips to India, Yemen, and East Africa. He witnessed WWI in Iraq and Syria, lived through the Great Depression and WWII impacts on Arabia, saw the end of slavery, when the British forces the local Sheikhs to abolish it, was there on March 28th, 1958, during the first gush of oil, helped transport the first barrels for export in 1966, saw the British leave, and lived through the unification by December of 1971, the Gulf War, and lived through the oil boom.
      He was a Pearl diver, merchant, camel rider, horse whisperer, mechanic, driver, oil-rig worker, and finally, a maintenance worker. He started working at the age of 9, believe it or not, which was very common throughout the world, not just our neck of the woods.
      He sure saw it all. We still have video tapes of his conversations of the old days. We probably have 680-minutes worth of footage. I think it would be worth digitalizing one day, and uploading them over UA-cam with subtitles for all to see.
      What do you guys think?

    Fascinating! I have often wondered why Japanese pearls are so affordable comparatively to their quality. Akoya pearls also have a beautiful luster which makes it very easy to distinguish from plastic pearls.

    Thank you for this look into the cultured pearl industry. For a fascinating first hand account of the last of the pearl divers in the late 1930s, I highly recommend the book The Sons of Sinbad by Alan Villars. Last few chapters of this book are spent with the pearl divers, and gave a great first-hand account of their work. Without a doubt, one of the most entertaining books ever written.

    Subbed! This is fascinating stuff. Human ingenuity and perseverance when it comes to making scientific discovery and progress, regardless of motivation never ceases to amaze me. I often wonder if the rate of this progress has slowed considerably because of current conveniences and the modern society in general (If that makes sense?).

      the reality is that after you hit a certain mile, the mileage started declining. as in rapid progress was possible because there was a lot of room to develop. after most things are discovered. you get slow rate of progress.

    • @AaronOfMpls

      Depends where you look. Some areas of science and technology are pretty mature, and progress is relatively slow and incremental. Some have stalled out, because further progress is too difficult and/or expensive with current knowledge and tech. Meanwhile, still other areas are newly-discovered and progressing rapidly.

There's also the really silly idea that you must pay a lot for jewelry, otherwise it isn't something to wear. But you can absolutely find diamond jewelry that's 1/10th the cost of natural diamonds or less. In industry, synthetic diamonds have already changed the market significantly.

Cold to the locals used to it being like a bathtub most of the year, but downright balmy to any of us whom ever went the beach in summer at higher latitudes.

    Is it true that the first Japanese pearl divers were women, who dove topless?

    It's pronounced Bah-RAIN (reYn). I grew up there, so it pains me to hear you pronounce it as "Bah-RAAAN".

      Just cuz the Portuguese were weak enough to get cooked by the native tribes in Arabia doesn’t mean they weren’t as bad as Britain

    Try getting the name of the body of water correct. Historically and internationally its name is the Persian Gulf.

      Man it’s the Arabian Gulf, Arabs live on its both coasts, weather its Al-Ahwaz and Arabistan in the East coast or Saudi Arabia and the UAE on the west coast

    The biggest coast on the Arabian Gulf is Saudi Arabia😅
    Yet this rhetoric makes it seem irrelevant to the Gulf while Al-Ahsa a Saudi city, is known as the Gulf Capital

    Are you sure??? These were Muslims. It is almost implausible that they "christened".

    Here in Indonesia we just throw them away 😅😂
    Stop talking about exhausted UAE oil 😅😂
    No one interested to come there along with ghost city concrete jungle Dubai yet world map is inaccurate since Mercator projection 1569 by west + middle east belittling Indonesia since, while in reality Indonesia The Emerald of The Equator is huge as Russia and even much richer than the rest of the world, our oil and gas only are much more than whole middle east.
    Complete multiracial multilingual living around the world all alone since childhood I speak fluent formal Arabic too, aside Dutch and so many other languages.
    Egypt isn't the oldest, even Egypt is very poor, very dry, far off the center of the Equator line.
    Most highest humidity on Earth: Indonesia, meaning many much older artifacts has decayed much faster than just few thousands years Egypt.
    And Judaism/Christianity/Islam are just the same dumb.
    Even most of people know nothing about much older ancient modern civilization here in Indonesia before mega eruption of Toba supervolcano of Sumatra 75,000 years ago.
    Including 25,000 years old Gunung Padang pyramid in Indonesia.
    Hindu isn't from India either. Original Hindu is Indonesia not in India.
    Hindu in India and in Bali are totally different
    Indus, Indo, Hindia, Hindu = Indus Islands = Indo Nesos = Indonesia.
    The same with Astrology came from Indonesia not by the Greeks, Egyptians nor Aramaic/Arabs/Jews.
    Judaism, Christianity and Islam are just frauds branches of modified Hinduism in India.
    Real Hindu came from Indonesia not India.
    Hindu, Hindia, Indus, Indo, etc = Indo Nesos, Indus islands, Indonesia over 17000 islands, exactly on the center of the equator line, the center of all civilization, all Indo around the world came from here especially because of eruption of Toba supervolcano Sumatra 75000 years ago bigger than Yellowstone USA, resulted today world's largest volcanic lake Toba Sumatra.
    Yet, world map is wrong since Mercator projection 1569, real Indonesia is Huge as Russia and even much richer than the rest of the world.

    It is Persian Gulf not Arabian Gulf. This is the historic name of the Persian Gulf. There is no such thing as an Arabian Gulf
