Talk:Sabaeans

message: I have removed the notation regarding the article by Megolomattis, since he is an unreliable source. His articles usually are diametrically opposed to the scientific world. He is stating the relation is unfounded and unproven. While if you read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_J_(Y-DNA) you will see that...
For example under Haplogroup J1 dna genetics of the Amhara and regions of the ancient Aksumite Kingdoms it is notable since this haplogroup shows highest frequencies in the Middle East North Africa and ETHIOPIA [Thomas et al study 1999] J1 was spread by two temporally distinct migratory episodes, the most recent one probably associated with the diffusion of Arab people[1] Haplogroup J1 is most frequent in Palestinian Arabs (38.4%) [Semino et al] and Arab Bedouins (62% and 82% in Negev desert Bedouins). Also in Arabic speaking countries like: Algeria (35%), Syria (30%), the southern Levant Iraq (33%), the Sinai Peninsula, and the Arabian Peninsula collapsing suddenly at the borders of Arabic countries with non Arabic countries (Turkey and Iran). It entered Ethiopia in the Neolithic with the Neolithic Revolution and spread of agriculture, where it is found mainly among Semitic speakers (e.g. Amhara 33.3%)
Essencially Semitic speaking Ethipians fare the same amount of J1 as do Palestinians, Syrians, Algerians, Iraqiz. This is rather significant. Other researchers have found Semitic ethiopia nearest cousins to be in Yemen & Oman followed by the rest of the Semitic world. Recently a program that details a scientific journey into Ethiopia and Yemen for the origins of Sheba and Aksum. The program is available at http://www.pbs.org/mythsandheroes/myths_four_sheba.html The program begins questioning both Ethipias and Yemens right to claim Sheba as origin. If you actually watch the program the program ends stating that Yemen is the origin. The program affermed that Sheba and Aksum have Ancient Yemenite/Semitic origins. This is actually the most scientific concencus, while the other views were mostly put forth by those who would rather have an ancient christian center as origin rather then an ancient southern arabian center.

message: For whatever it's worth, the Sabeans had an important place in Islamic theology. In the Qur'an in 2:62 it reads, "Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] - those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be ... " (Sahih International Translation) You can find similar references in 22:17 and 5:69 in the Qur'an that mention the Sabeans 66.188.228.180 (talk) 07:06, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

message: This article is wrong on so many stuff, while covering so little. Also I believe I browsed this page a long time ago and back then it seemed to have much more and better information. Am I dreaming or has there been vandalism on this page or something.
There are some good sources and references listed, for example the great work by korotayev, yet this article is so well...of bad quality. I'd like to have a new go and start from the ground up, I could use some help of native English speaker or someone else with a very good grasp of English.

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Sabaeans. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
*Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/online_tours/middle_east/ancient_south_arabia/the_kingdoms_of_ancient_south.aspx
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

message: I think the whole article is talking about kingdom of Saba' and not Sabaeans in general so I think it should be named as kingdom of Saba' or the Sabaean kingdom.  SharabSalam (talk) 09:59, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

message: Was Saba' actually preceded by Awsan? This is a mistake, as Awsan was conquered by the Sabaeans long after the establishment of Saba' as a political entity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheTraveller60 (talk • contribs) 13:24, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
