History
An Assyrian text which dates back to c. 685 BC talks about the gifts sent to Sennacherib by Karab-El Bayin. The gifts consisted of silver, gold, types of the most exquisite perfume called "Rikke Tabutu" and precious gem stones which have traditionally been exported from South Arabia. Karab-El built a house or a temple, "House Akito" "Bit-Akitu", to celebrate the New Year's and other holidays.[2]
