Hi,

Is there any history for the Saba? The website doesn't seem to have any and I would like to know about them (since I know nothing about them).

Short excerpt here

During Sabaean rule, trade and agriculture flourished generating much wealth and prosperity. The Sabaean kingdom was located in what is now the 'Asīr region in southwestern Yemen, and its capital, Ma'rib, is located near what is now Yemen's modern capital, Sana'a.[14] According to Arab tradition, the eldest son of Noah, Shem, founded the city of Ma'rib.

There were four groups in southern Yemen at the time

The Minaean people were one of four ancient Yemeni groups mentioned by Eratosthenes. The others were the Sabaeans, Ḥaḑramites and Qatabānians. Each of these had regional kingdoms in ancient Yemen, with the Minaeans in the north-west (in Wādī al-Jawf), the Sabeans to the south-east of them, the Qatabānians to the south-east of the Sabaeans, and the Ḥaḑramites east of them.

There is not a whole lot out there. Perhaps there was before the Library at Alexandria was burned repeated.
