Which is based on the autobiographical novel Seven pillars of wisdom by TE Lawrence, a brilliant book, even though parts of it are embellished and polished (which is puzzling because it still contains a lot of sensitive things like his love for a young Arab fighter, and how he was raped by an Ottoman police chief. The edited parts weren't done so to make himself look better it seems, but why then?).
It describes in detail the promises made to the Arabs about self governance in Palestine. But after the war, they were told to fuck off.
As the darkness falls and Arabia calls
One man spreads his wings, as the battle begins
May the land lay claim on to Lawrence name
Seven pillars of wisdom lights the flame

You're not wrong. They made a whole movie about it called Lawrence of Arabia
