<br/>
the fascinating tri sovereign town of dibba or daba <br/>
possibly unique in the world<br/>
was first brought to our attention by arif<br/>
in his 22 dec 00 entry under<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://members.aol.com/marismits/WeirdGeo.htm">http://members.aol.com/marismits/WeirdGeo.htm</a><br/>
<br/>
& tho he dismissed at that time the notion that dibba could be <br/>
the point of origin of the legendary<br/>
3 kings of orient <br/>
aka the magi or the wise men<br/>
i have to wonder now upon further reflection <br/>
whether the also legendary gifts of these potentates<br/>
namely frankincense & myrrh <br/>
dont at least tend to pinpoint them somewhere in eastern arabia<br/>
& thus lend credence to what might otherwise seem a <br/>
preposterous idea<br/>
<br/>
& besides<br/>
what other town could they have come from<br/>
<br/>
so i wonder if there isnt any local tradition there to support this <br/>
conjecture<br/>
<br/>
also when you visit<br/>
please keep an eye out <br/>
if you would<br/>
for the trisovereign points that must occur in that town<br/>
probably at least 2 in number<br/>
if i am visualizing the topology of the borders correctly<br/>
<br/>
a local detail map would be an enormous boon as well <br/>
should you be able to find or create one<br/>
