Saba also relates to Caba as in Kabbalah. 498 A colony of Brahmins from
India founded one of the shrines in the Kaaba in the Temple of Mecca.
The Brahmins made pilgrimages to worship Brahm and Abraham for
several centuries after his time. 499
Today, some Israeli-born people are proudly nicknamed Sabras,
meaning tough on the outside and tender on the inside.
From a Biblicallament for the city of Tyre, we know that both
Harran and Saba or Sheba traded in similar goods: 500
Harran, Canneh and Eden and merchants of Sheba, Asshur and
Kilmad traded with you. In your marketplaces they traded with
you beautiful garments, blue fabric, embroidered work and
multicolored rugs with cords twisted and tightly knotted.
Two other groups of Sabians also lived in Mesopotamia. These
were the Soba, or Syriac Semites of Northern Mesopotamia, and the
Subbhas who moved from Harran to Southern Mesopotamia. The
Sabians also include the Mandaeans that followed John the Baptist and

Harran followed a similar complex system of astral worship. The premier

names such as ‘Illumquh by the Sabians, ‘Amm and ‘Anbay by the
Qatabanians, Wadd (or love) by the Minaeans and Sin by the Hadramis. 502
The Moon God is the progenitor of the ancient Arabian high God al-Llah.
Like El, his name simply means God and it is represented by the crescent
moon. This is the symbol we see on the Arabic flags and in many
paintings of the Virgin Mary based on the vision of John of Patmos: 503
A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed
with the sun and the moon under her feet and upon her head a
crown of twelve stars.
Diodorus Siculus notes of the Sabians of Yemen: 504
This tribe surpasses not only its neighboring Arabs but also other
men in wealth and in their several extravagances besides. For in
the exchange and sale of their wares they, of all men who carry
on trade for the sake of silver they receive in exchange, obtain the
highest price in return for things of the smallest weight.
Consequently, since they have never for ages suffered the ravages
