Th?j is considered one of the most important ancient sites in the north-east of the Arabian Peninsula. However, information gained from research at the site raised many questions, which require careful consideration before reaching correct answers. For example, what are scholars able to say regarding the inscriptions and the coins which have been found in Th?j? What are new findings have been achieved from the excavations in Th?j? What is the connection between Th?j and the lost Arabian city of Gerrha? This study seeks answers to these questions and carefully reviews the discussions published in older studies.
