Israelites never bestowed an important name such as Mezahab at random.<br />

It was in recognition of an important event or connection. 507<br />

From aurum potable and the words of Diodorus Siculus, we can<br />

detect a metallurgical link of gold between Harran and Ma'rib.<br />

Mezahab may also be a half-hidden cipher name of Yahweh. In a<br />

similar way, modern computer encryption halves its cryptographic key for<br />

security. At least one thousand years ago Massoretic authors halved<br />

Yahweh’s name and encrypted it with the Atbash Cipher. <strong>The</strong> last four<br />

letters of Mezahab make Ahab, which is Hebrew for like the Father. <strong>The</strong><br />

Atbash Cipher hides the first two letters MTz, which are Yd He, and the<br />

first two letters of YHWH (see Appendix 10 for a description of the<br />

Atbash Cipher).<br />

Similarly, Mitzvah (MTzWH), which means Commandment,<br />

deciphers to Jehovah (YHWH). Like the Egyptian God Amun, the name<br />

of YHWH signifies He Causes to Become. Yahweh achieves this from<br />

the Hebrew verb hawah (HWH) that means to become. Again, as with<br />

Amun, the priests hid from view Yahweh’s full name. 508<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is still a tribe of Sabians of Yemen in Oman on the Arabian<br />

Peninsula. <strong>The</strong>y claim to descend from a great race comparable to the<br />

Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and Romans. <strong>The</strong> tribe gathers<br />

frankincense resins in the old way. Frankincense resin was in such<br />

demand that it was equal in value to gold in ancient times. Due to the<br />

wealth from frankincense, the Romans designated the land Arabia Felix<br />

or Fortunate Arabia.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a final intriguing parallel between the Commagene and<br />

Yemen. As we have seen with the dual Sabian populations, there were<br />

also two cities of Dilmun. One is on Bahrain Island and the other in the<br />

Commagene in Anatolia.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sumerians believed they came from the former, the island of<br />

Dilmun, where the kings lived before the flood. 509 Geoffroy Bibby<br />

located this legendary Dilmun on Bahrain Island, just off the Sinai<br />

Peninsula, in 1956. This Dilmun was a city, the size of the Babylonian<br />

city of Ur, with its own seals and other commercial objects similar to Ur.<br />

It had a sophisticated underground water supply that allowed it to become<br />

a large trading centre between Ur and Mohenjo-Daro on the West Bank of<br />

the Indus River in Pakistan. 510<br />

Sites on the coast of Pakistan at Dwaraka, in the Gulf of Kutch,<br />

and on India’s coast in the Gulf of Cambay, suggest a long tradition of<br />

advanced pre-inundation civilizations in the region. <strong>The</strong> underwater city<br />
