Sidenote: people say harad is more arabian to that i say 'be quiet and study history" i believe near harad is more of a turk-persian country.


 * they have mumakil (persia has elephants)


 * Their armour is extremly similar, and the persians had very strong bows, so do the haradrimm


 * the persians controll the center of the world in the way like large chunks of each continet, the near haradrimm controll the middle of ME with parts in harad parts in the west and parts in the east.

I say it is more Arabic/Turkish. Your third point makes no sense as this is Middle-earth and what territory a faction has, has nothing to do with their culture. Your second point doesn't make much sense either as the armour in the mod is not actually what is described in the books. Your first point could make a little bit of sense, but keep in mind the Mumakil are from the Far Harad Jungles, not Near Harad itself, and the Turks may have used elephants themselves. So I thouroughly believe that they are based off of Arabs/Turks and not Persians, and yes I study alot of history.
