History

According to the 10th-century writer al-Hamdani, ʽAlman was negatively affected by the collapse of the Rayʽan dam in 859; it had previously been under extensive cultivation, but after the dam collapsed the water supply dwindled.[2] References by historical writers also indicate that ʽAlman may have been the site of a pre-Islamic palace.[2]
