[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE] I'll relay the same question to you as I have done earlier: What set of parameters do you use to attribute origin of "cultural complex" to a specific group of people? [/QUOTE]The parameter(s) I use is that where ever a cultural tradition first occurs,temporally , it is that place where the cultural complex originated. In relation to Ethiopia we find three things: 1) a long tradition of statehood (Egyptian and Ethiopian records), 2) early engagement in trade (Sumerian and Egyptian text discussing the Puntite and Meluhha civilizations), and 3) oldest evidence of writing existing in Ethiopia (Drewes 1962), not Yemen. Put these elements together we have to acknowledge that the Sabaeans and their writing probably originated in Ethiopia not Yemen. . . [/QB][/QUOTE]
