II am a proponent of the Arabian Judah hypothesis, which argues that the Hebrew originated in the volcanic region of northern Yemen and established their states astride the Sabaean trade routes between Taima and Yemen. European Jewish obsession with the Levant as the Promised Land had led to denigration of anything that suggest Western Arabia and to a lesser extent Ethiopia were the location of events described in the Old Testament up until 586 B.C.E. For example I have recently returned from Tigray with photos of the word "Hebrew" listed as subjects of kings and queens of Sheba ca. 800 B.C.E. inscribed on two incense burners but not a single Israeli academic has replied to my emails concerning this. Their arrogance or timidity is disgraceful.
