During the Pre-Islamic era the city at the site of modern Riyadh was called Hajr (Arabic: حجر), and was reportedly founded by the tribe of Banu Hanifa. Hajr served as the capital of the province of Al-Yamamah, whose governors were responsible for most of central and eastern Arabia during the Umayyad and Abbasid eras.

The Nile was usually said to be the longest river in the world, with a length of about 6,650 km, and the Amazon was the second longest, with a length of at least 6,400 km. In recent decades debate has intensified over the true source and therefore the length of the Amazon River. Brazilian and Peruvian Studies in 2007 and 2008 added the waterway from the Amazon’s southern outlet through tidal canals and the Pará estuary of the Tocantins and then concluded that the Amazon has a length of 6,992 km and was longer than the Nile, whose length was calculated as 6,853 km. However, as of 2010 the length of both rivers remains open to interpretation and continued debate.
