Moon God vs Temple of the Moon edit

When the Sabaean campaign started (from the Temple of the moon by warrior priests), the Moon god Yeha-Sin was already worshipped in most of South Arabia, along with other deities. While the campaign was directed at Awsan rising political power. The temple of the moon was more focused on taxation & rising revenue for the state centralized in the Temple of the moon, taking away power from the religiously diverse smaller regional polities that were allied to Awsan.

Gəʕz አልመቀህ edit

The header says that in Gəʕz this deity was known as አልመቀህ 'älmaqah. This seems plausible, but is it actually attested with this vocalisation? No source is given. I've been digging a little (not enough, but some), & I can't find anything on this name appearing in vocalised texts. Pathawi (talk) 12:25, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
