[QUOTE]Originally posted by Xross Breed: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Xross Breed: This here is BS if Munro-Hay was indeed quoting and referencing Schneider's work: ""Inscriptions found at some of these sites include the names of persons bearing the traditional South Arabian title of mukarrib, apparently indicating a ruler with something of a priest-king status, not otherwise known in Ethiopia (Caquot and Drewes 1955). Others have the title of king, mlkn (Schneider 1961; 1973). [b]Evidently the pre-Aksumite Sabaean-influenced cultural province did not consist merely of a few briefly-occupied staging posts, but was a wide-spread and well-established phenomenon." - S. Munro Hay[/b]. That bolded part is BS, because it is no longer accepted and that was *NOT* Schneider's position, though Munro-Hay references him to prove an opposite point. Bottom line, influences went both ways.[/QUOTE]Your assessment is the BS, because Munro-Hay did not state that the above highlighted piece is Schneider's assessment. He in fact, quoted two other scholars, in additioned to several other things he mentioned earlier, to make the assessment [highlighted] above. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well evidently Supertroll, that conclusion has been challenged and discredited by a number of scholars, especially Matthew Curtis. Recent Regional Archaeological Research in Eritrea: Investigating the Origins and Development of Early Complex Society in the Greater Asmara Area, presented at the International Conference, Independent Eritrea: Lessons and Prospects, Asmara, Eritrea, July 22, 2001. By Matthew Curtis "All available evidence suggests endogenous origins for the Ona and Kidane Mehret pre-Aksumite communities and a continuity of occupation, material culture, and subsistence for at least five hundred years. These permanent urban-like agropastoral communities appeared contemporaneously to the rise of the complex South Arabian polity of Saba. There is no evidence that a Sabean tradition of urbanism or technological traditions diffused to the northern Horn in the 9th century BCE simultaneous to their own development. The Pre-Aksumite settlements and contemporaneous Sabean settlements are best viewed as co-evolving." Stop wasting my time by spamming Munro-Hay. He makes some good points but the point I highlighted was clearly BS and he did use Schneider's info to come to that conclusion. [/QB][/QUOTE]
