[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] I read the Fattowich article [URL=http://www.arkeologi.uu.se/afr/projects/BOOK/fattowich.pdf]Fattowich web page[/URL] From reading the article fattowich gives a great discussion of the rise of urbanism in North Africa. He makes it clear that the Tihama pottery was related to the C-Group and Kerma people. This supports the movement of some of the groups into the Horn from this region. In reading the article I found nothing proving that the Da'amat culture was founded by South Arabians. It would appear that Fattowich's insistence that the Sabaeans founded Da'amat is bsed purely on conjecture. And as I have noted in earlier post the earliest Sabaean inscriptions have been found in Ethiopia at Matara [IMG] http://www.shaebia.org/meterawriting.jpg http://www.shaebia.org/meterawriting.jpg[/IMG] The earliest Sabaen inscription found at Ma'rib is hundreds of years later: [IMG] http://nabataea.net/Yemen49.jpg [/IMG] Let's not forget that Ethiopia has a long history of civilizations and Empires beginning with Punt they also had a highly devloped system of government led by kings and queens like the rest of Africa, as indicated by the statues from Haulti/Hawlti [IMG] http://hometown.aol.com/_ht_a/atobrukh/archaeology/matara/images/Hwltithrone1sml.jpeg [/IMG] [IMG] http://hometown.aol.com/_ht_a/skipbdahlgren/sdahlgren/images/hawultistatue.jpeg [/IMG] Daniels has a fine book and Fattowich provides great evidence on the rise of civilization in Ethiopia, but if we are to use these two sources to gage the origin of literacy on the Horn, it would appear that Sabaean originated in Ethiopia and not Yemen. The Yemeni cultures are dated much later than those in Ethiopia, and support Ethiopia traditions that civilization was taken from Ethiopia to Yemen and not the other way around. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
