While the current state of Zaclaria has only existed for about two centuries, its history stretches back over two millennia. The region of the [[Mahabis Governorate]] is the site of the ancient Diwaisa civilization, famed since antiquity for its pearl fisheries, which were considered the best in the world. As a whole, the area of Zaclaria has been home to successive civilizations since the 3rd millennium BC. Zaclaria was founded in 247 BC as a city-state and the [[Sultanate of Zaclaria]] was created in the 6th century. The Sultanate was conquered by [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] in the 9th century and was controlled by them until the peaceful [[Al-Kurush Revolution]] in 1089, leading to the creation of the Emirate of Zaclaria. The Emirate, which ruled for approximately 7 centuries and produced four dynasties, collapsed in the late 18th century during the violent [[Ümmidre Revolution]]. The Imperium of Caphiria quickly seized control of the region in the early 19th century, beginning Caphirian rule. This period saw the rise of the [[Al-Fassara Dynasty]], who constantly fighting against Caphiria and promoting a pan-Islamic Audonian independent state. Caphirian rule lasted over a century until the end of the [[Second Great War]] in 1943 when revolutionary [[Tehminevra Al-Fassara]] founded the modern state of Zaclaria; Caphiria recognized Zaclaria's sovereignty on the condition that the new state would become a Crowned Protectorate. | While the current state of Zaclaria has only existed for about two centuries, its history stretches back over two millennia.
