Maria, I think people also get confused by their conviction that India has always been the subcontinent. In ancient times, India appears to have included Siberian Russia, Iran, the Turkic countries, Greece, Iraq, part of Western China, Tibet, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc. Actually, wherever "Sabianism" is concerned, "India" at one time included even the Holy Land and beyond! I'm afraid to tell just what "beyond" included, for fear of being regarded as "crazy."

I will take Afghanistan as an example. It left the "Sabha" confederation in the 1700s when England was in control of the country. Therefore, any literature by Afghan authors before that time was written in India itself! The principal and most reliable books on Afghanistan plainly state that David, Saul, and Solomon lived in Afghanistan, not in today's Israel or Palestine. Even Israel was in Afghanistan!! If anyone doubts this, let him read History of the Afghans by the Persian historian Khwaja Neamat Ullah who wrote his History not long after Islam became Afghanistan's official religion. I have lent my copy to highly educated and "scientific" people who doubted this when I told them. They tell me that they are amazed by what they have read and are as sure that this History is true as I am.

A few illustrious English residents of India thought that the Afghans had just "invented" their history - but not all of them. Some of the greatest English historians, such as Godfrey Higgins, author of Anacalypsis, stated that David, Saul, and Solomon were definitely Hindus! I know onr thing for sure: They weren't Palestinians!!!

The evidence is plainly on the side of the Afghans and not at all on that of the present-day Israelis and Palestinians. How can they be so foolish as to continue murdering each other to see who gets control of the wrong country?
