This contribution is out of touch with the main epigraphic, historic and archaeological sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.7.102.173 (talk) 13:55, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
How does such an article get into Wikipedia? - so out of step with the literature and largely without documentation. I.e. is it a kingdom or just a conferderation? Also contains religious polemic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pyule (talk • contribs) 09:29, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
Please remove the relief of the Himyarite knight previously from the Zafar Museum. it is plagiarized from heidICON SKVO Zafar. Azd0815 (talk) 19:44, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
According to A Historical Atlas of the Jewish People, edited by Eli Barnavi:
"Some Christians regard this [anti-Christian warfare] as part of a Jewish attempt to dominate the world. Yet the kingdom was not Jewish, and its monotheism was but an expression of Himyarite independence."
This same book also mentions that the war was fought in the name of "The Merciful One", which suggests to me that Himyar monotheism was more proto-Islamic then Jewish. Can anyone out there back some of this up with a non-POV source?
The deity named in Christian and Judaising/Jewish Texts is Rachmana/n, the merciful. Summary: C. Robin in the periodical Arabia 1, 2004. Himyarite monotheism was Christian and Jewish whereby the nature of the latter is a question of definition since the Jews in Himyarite Arabia appear unaware of the Talmud. Basic attributes are also lacking. p.y.
I'm taking out "if he was not simply Judaising" because the sentence is nonsensical.--Dr.Worm 03:49, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
