| 1541 | ENT_SAB_ALMAQAH | received_as | ENT_ARA_HUBAL | low | The South Arabian lunar-deity-as-chief-deity pattern (exemplified by Almaqah as the patron of the Sabaean kingdom) is the older religious substrate for the pre-Islamic north Arabian lunar deity worship that Hubal represents at Mecca. The transmission pathway from South Arabian to North Arabian religion operated through incense trade routes and population movements; the same general religious grammar (lunar deity as patron of the tribe/city, with Venus and sun as secondary deities) characterizes both South and pre-Islamic North Arabian religion. Confidence low: this is a broad cultural transmission rather than a specific documented lineage from Almaqah to Hubal. | SRC_HOYLAND_ARABIA | reviewed | PER_ARA_PRE_ISLAMIC |
