Tubal-cain was called "Mes-Kalem-Dug". He was exceptionally strong and an expert in the martial arts. He invented the art of making brass.
As pointed out by Sir Laurence Gardner in his book, Genesis of the Grail Kings, the biblical Tubal-cain (who is revered in scientific Freemasonry) was the great Vulcan of Mesopotamia during the reign of Egypt's King Narmer (c. 3200 BC). He was a prominent alchemist and the greatest metallurgist of his age, while his step-brother Jubal was said to be "the ancestor of all who handle the lyre and pipe", hence derived the word "jubilee", meaning "a blast of trumpets" or "to lead with triumph or pomp". The ritual connection in pleasing the gods with brass horns and trumpets is very apparent in this era and a later association between angels and the mediaeval buisine (long trumpet) probably originates from this time.
From the "Theosophical Glossary", H. P. Blavatsky, 1892: Tubal-Cain (Heb.). The Biblical Kabir, "an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron", the son of Zillah and Lamech; one with the Greek Hephaestos or Vulcan. His brother Jubal, the son of Adah and the co-uterine brother of Jabal, one the father of those "who handle the harp and organ", and the other the father "of such as have cattle", are also Kabiri: for, as shown by Strabo, it is the Kabiri (or Cyclopes in one sense) who made the harp for Kronos and the trident for Poseidon, while some of their other brothers were instructors in agriculture. Tubal-Cain (or Thubal-Cain) is a word used in the Master-Mason's degree in the ritual and ceremonies of the Freemasons.
