The #Greeks tell us the #Arabs of #Negev worshipped #Venus, but they donβt tell us who She is. An #Arabic inscription found in #Syria mentions #Goddess of Daathen, an #Arab town in Negev, again without mentioning who She is, because of course we all know who she is.
I personally lean towards the goddess mentioned being Al-Uzza, since that what the later sources describing the #Christianization of #Palestinians mention.
